Seeking support early for issues we often face at home prevents problems from snowballing and helps us see things from a different perspective. If you are experiencing marital, divorce or parenting issues and wish to speak to someone, the Community Psychology Hub (CPH) offers free-of-charge live chat (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm) and email counselling services with anonymous sign-ups. Our counsellors can help you work towards solutions to forge stronger bonds with your family.
This service is a joint initiative by MSF and CPH. Visit www.cphonlinecounselling.sg to find out more.

Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
We can all do our part to keep our seniors safe, especially those who may not know how to seek help or are unaware that they are victims of abuse.
There are various forms of abuse and none of it should be tolerated. Early reporting and help-seeking is important to protect our elderly. If you suspect that an elderly person is being abused, call the National Anti-Violence Helpline at 1800-777-0000. Find out more at: www.msf.gov.sg/breakthesilence

We hope that the recent amendments to the Child Development Co-Savings Act will help to make the parenthood journey more manageable for working parents.
The Government-Paid Paternity Benefit and Government-Paid Adoption Benefit schemes seek to support working fathers and adoptive mothers, who may not qualify for paternity leave or adoption leave, due to their employment arrangements. For parents who are retrenched or whose contracts have expired before they are able to use up their leave entitlements, they can also receive a benefit top-up for the leave that was forfeited.
Visit www.profamilyleave.gov.sg to find out more about these new schemes.
