Parent Support

Stationing Social Work Service for Young Children aims at engaging parents in child nurturance. We strive to identify and help the children with special education needs and their families at an early stage, discern the families and children who are in crises or in need, and provide proper and timely support and referrals.

Mission:

• Motivate children to unleash their potential to the fullest extent and develop a positive personality.
• Strengthen children’s adaptability to schooling.
• Assist parents in addressing the needs of children’s development and growth at different stages, enabling them to play the role of nurturing children’s growth effectively.
• Foster collaborations between parents and schools in creating a healthy, safe and joyful environment for children’s growth and development.

About the Service:

• Having been providing school social work service since 2007, our stationing social workers have proven track records in their profession.
• Our stationing social workers have received training in game therapy and crisis management, and are able to provide children with relevant training and referrals with reference to the child development checklist developed by HKSPC.
• We join hands with schools to conduct evaluations on service requirements and provide relevant activities and services catering for the needs of schools.

PaMa Kids is a service scheme driven by the child-centred approach, aiming to connect parents (PaMa) and children (Kids). Adhering to the five service principles, namely, “embracing happiness”, “child-centred”, “collaborative exploration”, “parent-child interactions” and “emotional connections”, we promote positive parent-child interactions and organise a series of explorative, artistic and fun parent-child activities and groups. Parents can renew their understanding of themselves and their children through participating in parent education activities and stepping out of the community with their children. Through the quality parent-child time, parents and children can consolidate their relationship and get along with each other well.
