Programmes and Services
Casework & counselling
Those who are facing problems (financial, personal, family relationships, marital, child management issues…etc) may call our centre or walk-in to seek help from our professional team of social workers and counsellors.
Information & referral
We provide information to clients who are unfamiliar with community resources. The FSC is a useful first stop for those who require assistance but unsure where to get it. In addition, we can also assist by referring clients to other relevant agencies for help when necessary.
Preventive & developmental programme (1)
Open Hands Programme
In light of the current economic uncertainties, this program aims to help those with financial difficulties through Financial Management and Employability Enhancement activities. In Financial Management, clients can attend workshops by qualified financial consultants and speakers, to discover how to better manage their finances. Clients who require more tangible assistance may be referred to relevant food ration and financial assistance schemes. In Employability Enhancement, clients may be given training in specific skills which may improve their chances of securing employment, such as conversational English and basic Computer skills.
Preventive & developmental programme (2)
Parenting Support Programme
This programme aims to help parents with children aged 0 to 19 years old to deal with parenting issues. The programme includes group workshops (eg. Parenting with Confidence), talks and clinics, and broken up into specific age-groups to help parents become aware of development issues specific to that age groups. These sessions are conducted by experienced social workers and family life educators. Interested parents from schools or other organisations may also invite the FSC to conduct these programmes at their respective locations.
Mandatory counselling
We provide mandatory counselling to families that are experiencing family violence, child abuse and neglect. The majority of these mandatory cases are referred by the court.
Marriage Preparation Course
This programme is for couples who are planning for marriage. It includes a PREPARE/ENRICH assessment tool to help couples learn more about themselves, their partners and their relationship.
