TRANS Family Services recently conducted a two-part webinar series on Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) on 3 and 24 October 2025, exploring how its principles can be applied when supporting persons with intellectual disabilities. The sessions brought together around 100 allied professionals from MINDS including psychologists, social workers and occupational therapists fostering shared learning and collaboration in providing trauma-informed support.
From 22 August to 3 October 2025, 6 seniors came together for the first run of a guided autobiography groupwork in Mandarin. This groupwork adapted elements from James Birren’s Telling the Stories of Life through Guided Autobiography Groups and built upon a similar programme conducted in English in 2024. Over the weekly sessions, participants engaged in a mix of large- and small-group activities and heartfelt discussions on themes such as family relationships, the meaning of money, major life roles, and what makes a “good death.” The group provided a warm and supportive space for seniors to reflect on their life journeys celebrating their transitions, challenges, strengths, and resources while building meaningful connections and mutual encouragement along the way.
TRANS Family Services held its Staff and Volunteer Annual Dinner on 26 September 2025, bringing together our dedicated staff and volunteers for an evening of celebration, appreciation and connection. The event featured a series of lively performances presented by both staff and volunteers adding to the celebratory spirit of the night. Guests also embraced this year’s theme, “Fruitful Together – Lettuce Celebrate!”, showcasing their creativity and vibrant personalities through colourful and imaginative outfits. A highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Long Service Awards, which recognised the dedication and meaningful contributions of staff and volunteers over the years. The much-anticipated lucky draw segment further added to the excitement. The annual dinner was a heartwarming occasion to celebrate our shared achievements and strengthen the bonds within our community. We look forward to continuing our mission of supporting individuals and families together. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us and contributed to making the evening a truly memorable one.
On 19 September 2025, TRANS FOCUS Active Ageing Centre (AAC) organised an outing for 79 seniors to Gardens by the Bay, one of Singapore’s most iconic landmarks. The trip was designed to promote active ageing, encourage social interaction, and enhance seniors’ overall well-being through a meaningful day spent in nature. Seniors enjoyed the refreshing sights and experiences while bonding with one another in a joyful atmosphere. We would like to extend our appreciation to the 3 dedicated volunteers and our FOCUS staff who supported the outing and made the day smooth and enjoyable for everyone.

On 5 July 2025, TRANS Family Services hosted its first-ever Fun Day at Universal Studios Singapore. A total of 288 staff, family members, and friends came together to enjoy a Saturday filled with laughter, thrilling rides, sweet treats, and countless photo-worthy moments. It was a chance to pause, unwind, and connect beyond the workplace. At TRANS Family Services, we believe that strong teams are built not only through shared work but also through shared moments. TFS Fun Day was our way of celebrating our incredible people — and the families who support them every step of the way.
