How are Strengthening Families Programme (FAM) centres different from Family Service Centres (FSCs)?
FAM centres provide counselling and support for divorced and divorcing families under the Strengthening Families Programme (FAM). Through counselling, families are empowered to regain stability and grow resilience. Families who face stress and/or conflict may approach the FAM centres for family counselling.
Family Service Centres (FSCs) serve low-income and/or vulnerable individuals and families who need support to meet their social and emotional needs to achieve stability, self-reliance, and social mobility. Social work practitioners at the FSCs provide case management support on multiple issues, such as family, financial, housing and employment. They also partner other agencies to address the issues and needs of these individuals and/or families holistically.
