Project Objective
Parents who need to take care of children with special learning needs face greater financial and emotional pressures. When these pressures are too great to bear, they can cause serious emotional or mental distress, which can damage the relationship between family members and affect the parents’ ability to take care of their children. They need professional support.
However, most low income families cannot afford additional professional counselling services. In view of this, this project aims to subsidise parents of low income families to receive personal or couple emotion counselling to relieve their emotions and stress arising from nurturing children with special learning needs, and to promote communication and internal communication among family members. In the process, these parents will improve their ability to take care of their children.
