Due to the pressure of society on boys as the future heads of households, in addition to the trend of masculinity crisis and male underachievement in education, single parents bear the massive burden of parenting, educating and nurturing boys without the presence of their fathers. Single mothers must prepare specific strategies to fulfil their boys’ need for a father figure. This study aims to provide an overview of single mothers' strategies for parenting their sons. This study uses a qualitative method. The phenomenological approach is used in this study. Researchers used purposive sampling in selecting informants, 5 informants were single mothers, 3 were due to the death of their husbands, and 2 were due to divorce. Data collection was carried out using in-depth interviews and documentation techniques. The analysis uses NVivo software. The findings of this study imply that to build the character of boys, apart from religious education and leadership, it is necessary to teach responsibility and train entrepreneurship skills so that they can stand on their own. To anticipate the father's absence, he can be replaced or rely on close relatives such as uncles, grandfathers and ustadz or teachers as a filler for the male figure. Besides, being a single mother due to divorce does not cut off the child's communication with his biological father. This paper sheds light on cross-gender parenting practices among Muslim single mothers. As a policy maker or social institution, it is appropriate to provide programs that help single mothers care for and educate their sons.

Due to the increasing pressure of social competition, the fierce conflicts of various values during the social transformation, the complex interpersonal relationships, and the continuous and normalized development of the epidemic, etc., the emergence of mental health problems of college students has been exacerbated. And the various psychological symptoms produced in the process of life continue to increase. The mental health problems of college students have a deepening trend, becoming an important social problem. In response to this situation, we must come up with corresponding solutions to effectively guide and control the various adverse effects of college students due to mental health problems. To this end, a psychological consultation system is designed, and colleges and universities can use this system to provide psychological consultation for students. In the system design, the PSO algorithm of the intelligent optimization algorithm is introduced to optimize the system performance, and through the improvement of the performance, it can better provide consulting services for students. Comparing the performance before and after optimization of the algorithm proves the effectiveness of the PSO algorithm in improving the performance. The results of the system satisfaction survey also verify that the system in this paper meets the needs of students for psychological education counseling.

“…They divided it into six main dimensions, including having a positive relationship quality with others, positive self-acceptance, having a purpose in life, the ability to grow personally, interacting effectively with the environment, and becoming an independent or autonomous person (Cyntia & Aruum, 2017).

Thus, social support is very important in every life of individuals, especially those who are having life problems.…”
