OUR APPROACH
We believe that strong and resilient families are a cornerstone of strong communities and good individual well-being. At MWS FFLC, we empower individuals and families to build happy and healthy relationships through evidence-based marriage and parenting programmes.
We work with partners, such as schools and grassroots organisations within the Hougang, Sengkang and Serangoon region, to reach out and encourage families and couples to participate in the services and programmes. Where necessary, we will provide information and refer families to appropriate social services.
