Celebrating Strength, Connection and Community – Migrant Brides Project

On a Saturday afternoon, TRANS Family Services marked Mother’s Day with a special programme for our migrant mothers and their children. The celebration provided a welcoming space for participants to share experiences and affirm one another, and build new friendships over a meal.

Beyond celebrating Mother’s Day, the gathering also offered an opportunity for participants to share their hopes, interests and ideas for future activities, helping to shape a community that is supportive, empowering and participant-led. While mothers actively participated in the discussion, their children were engaged in making keychains from air-dry clay facilitated by volunteers.

We are grateful to all the mothers, children, volunteers and staff who contributed to making the day a joyful and memorable one. Through initiatives such as the Migrant Brides Project, TRANS Family Services remains committed to fostering meaningful connections, strengthening support networks, and creating opportunities for women and families to thrive together.

CNY Lo-Hei and Intergenerational Crafts at Bedok

In celebration of Chinese New Year, our 37 Happy Healthy Hour (H3) seniors welcomed 47 Kindergarten 2 (K2) students from MOE Kindergarten @ Fengshan Primary School for an intergenerational craft activity. In pairs, the seniors and children worked hand-in-hand to decorate the Chinese character “福” (fortune) using crepe paper and glue. Seniors had the opportunity to guide and interact with the children while engaging their fine motor skills, and the children explored their creativity and practised expressing their ideas with confidence. As they discussed colours and designs, the room quickly filled with laughter and conversation. The session created a heartwarming opportunity for both generations to connect and celebrate the festive season together.

Meaningful Connections: Parents and Tweens Groupwork

The tween years can be a time of growing independence, new emotions, and changing family dynamics. At TRANS Family Services (Bukit Timah), our recent groupwork programme, “Meaningful Connections: Parents and Tweens”, brought parents and their children aged 9–12 together to strengthen their relationships and navigate this stage with greater understanding. Through 6 sessions, parents learnt ways to better manage their children’s emotions and behaviours and build stronger parent-child connections. Many parents shared valuable takeaways, including the importance of connecting before redirecting. At the same time, children discovered how they could regulate their emotions and communicate their thoughts and feelings more confidently. The groupwork ended with a joint parent-child session, where families engaged in meaningful conversations and activities, including writing heartfelt letters to one another. Following the successful completion of the groupwork, the team is excited to continue supporting families through more programmes aimed at strengthening family relationships.
