燕樂照顧者支援計劃

增強照顧者能力，改善兒童全面健康
Variety Hong Kong Care Giver Program event

The Caregiver Programme supports underprivileged caregivers to take care of their children with mental health issues. A vital element of building better mental health

Since inception in 2021, we have conducted seminars to 5 cohorts of parents/caregivers, serving over 100 families with over 400 attendees. Workshops were delivered by clinical professionals, passing onto caregiver knowledge, insights, and practical tips in coping with different types of mental illness in child development, coupled with facilitated peer group discussions. This deep intervention approach enables both child and parent more confidence in facing the challenges together.

Family wellbeing is challenged in taking care of children with mental health issues

  • 80% of parents with special-needs children suffered mild to severe levels of stress leading to family conflicts and problems.1
  • 55%+ of our beneficiary families indicated a higher risk of child abuse and family violence.
  • Only 1/3 of the welfare centres offer help to parents such as support groups, talks and outdoor activities.
  • COVID-19 pandemic and related homebound measures posed greater detrimental psychosocial effects on children and families facing mental health issues with lower socioeconomic status.

Caregivers’ mental wellness and children’s psychological health is directly correlated

  • Need professional help and guidance to make home a safe place for children’s long-term health, development and growth.
  • Need peer support when they themselves and their children are being misunderstood and rejected by other family members and/or society.
  • Need parent-child interactive activities to strengthen positive attitude and foster intimate relationship.

After learning from the professionals , I feel more confident in handling the challenges ahead. Sharing our experiences in peer groups gives me great comfort to know that I am not alone in this journey.
