Hey all new parents! #LetsMeet NUS Nursing Assistant Professor Dr Shefaly Shorey on Families for Life’s Facebook Live at 7pm every Wednesday in April, as she shares with you helpful tips on confinement and baby care. 👶🏻

“Babies don't come with manuals, and many young parents I know wonder if they are doing what is best for their children or are unsure if resources online are credible. I am determined to help them along through this series of videos, which covers various topics on post-natal care and confinement practices.”

We have received many enquiries about your application status for the Temporary Relief Fund. These FAQs should help. Thank you for your understanding, as our team is working hard to process all applications.
Over 300,000 applications of the Temporary Relief Fund (TRF) have been processed, and we are receiving even more. However, many who have received the funds have recently asked how to return the money. 

You can do so online at https://go.gov.sg/trf-refund-form. For those who want to return an unbanked TRF cheque or cashier's order, you can do so at your nearest Social Service Office (SSO).

If you have other questions on the TRF, please visit https://go.gov.sg/msf-covid19-faqs.

“The circuit breaker is an opportunity to communicate and connect better with our spouse by being patient and putting ourselves in the other person’s shoes. When we are resilient and able to face adversity, this basic foundation about love, care and concern for each other will intentionally make this love relationship emotionally stronger.”

“It is crucial for the preschool, therapists and Early Intervention educators to provide integrated support to children with developmental needs. At the end of the day, these children and their families will need to feel welcomed and, most importantly, accepted by the community.”

Dr Jacqueline Chung, who is part of our Inclusive Preschool Workgroup, believes that inculcating inclusivity starts from young, as early as in preschool. Read on as she shares her thoughts here: https://msfcaresblog.com/2020/04/01/inclusivity-begins-in-the-classroom/
