Our Services
School Social Work
We offer year-long comprehensive, preventive, holistic, supportive and motivational life-skills programmes designed for Primary and Secondary School students. Research-based, field-tested, proven and cost-effective, these programmes have impacted well over 30,000 lives since 1997.
Counselling
We offer an array of counselling services that support children, youths and their families. We provide emotional support through one-on-one counselling, casework management as well as group work.
We also work closely with stakeholders like parents, school teachers and the community to enhance the socio-ecological interactions of our young clients.
Outreach Youth Mentoring
We provide training, coordination, and support for mentors to engage and guide youths in various settings. We work with mentor-volunteers who also believe that it takes a village to raise a child.
Hear4U
Hear4U is an online service set up by CARE Singapore for Singaporeans so that they have a space to seek advice and express their concerns on emotional and mental issues. It utilizes Psychological First-Aid in order to provide support and a safe space to be heard to those that are struggling.
Parenting/Teachers Training
CARE provides training workshops, group-based customized
training and consultancy for schools, teachers, youth-workers and other
social-service practitioners to deal and work with vulnerable youths as well as
other youth issues.
Sports Partnership
We are proudly partnered with Sportif Youth in our efforts to reach out and impact at-risk youths through sports. Our partnership with Sportif Youth is a synergistic relationship that provides many valuable opportunities for our youths to succeed in life.
Spotlight on Youth Mental Health
"Singaporean youths hesitate to seek mental health support, fearing they might burden others."
A recent survey by CARE Singapore and global market research firm, Milieu Insight, has uncovered that Singaporean youths face a myriad of concerns or challenges regarding the prospect of seeking mental health support, primarily the fear of burdening others with their problems.
The survey, which polled 1,000 youths aged 16 to 35, utilised the PHQ-9 tool to assess the severity of depressive symptoms across various levels.
