BeaconWorks Programme


Having serious and persistent problems disciplining your children? BeaconWorks helps parents and children work on their strained relationships.

The BeaconWorks Programme is for families with children who have serious and persistent disciplinary problems.

Parents and children who voluntarily admit themselves to this programme will undergo 6-months of counselling and case work.

If the situation improves after the programme, parents can avoid filing a "Beyond Parent Control Complaint" with the Juvenile Court.

For More Info

Contact the Family Service Centre nearest to your home. Professional social workers at FSCs will be at hand to help you.
