When a family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 is split 💔 by divorce, it is often the children 👧🏻👦🏻 who are the most deeply affected. 😞 To better support families undergoing divorce with a child-centric approach, we have appointed two new Divorce Support Specialist Agencies – Thrive Parenting! AMKFSC Community Services and Healing Hearts @ Fei Yue.

It is also important for us to provide couples 👫 with early help, before they even take that step towards divorce. Check out these recommendations by the Committee to Review and Enhance Reforms in the Family Justice System and tell 📢 us what you think💡at www.go.gov.sg/rerf from tomorrow, 20 September to 1 November 2019.
