“Inter-professional Support for Family Caregivers” Seminar
The HKSPC Child Safeguarding Academy “Inter-professional Support for Family Caregivers” seminar was successfully held on July 4, 2024. The event has attracted over 80 social workers, teachers and parents from HKSPC and outside HKSPC. Speakers have shared their inspirational insights on exploring the needs of caregivers from sectors of child education, family support and social enterprises, and how caregivers can obtain social resources.   Four speakers include Ms. Yonnie Lam, Service Director (Nursery School) of HKSPC, Ms. Cheng Yin Ping, Senior Social Work Supervisor of Caritas Rehabilitation Service, Mr. Verdi Lai, Coordinating Secretary of Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong, as well as Mr. Ringle Leung, Founder of HealthyMind Parents Academy.   Ms. Mary Wong, Deputy Director (Child Care & Education) of HKSPC expressed her warm welcome during the opening speech, saying that the Society will continue creating a nurturing environment and to promote the well-being of children, demonstrating our slogan “Happy Childhoods Uplift Us All.”                             The seminar consisted of four sessions. By sharing their professional knowledge, personal experiences, life examples and case analyses, four speakers discussed with participants how to establish a safe attachment relationship with their children, support for parents who have children with special needs, career development for caregivers, and tips for improving family happiness.   We sincerely hope that this seminar can promote cooperation between different social welfare sectors, educational institutions and parents. Everyone can contribute to bring happiness to more families and children in the community.
