Reflections \u2013 FSC Visits<\/h4>\r\n

\u201cThe experience from the FSCs has given me confidence to develop clear frameworks and digital records.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\u201cI learnt that we should not give up when helping our clients, as there are many channels that we can use.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI have learnt how to integrate music and art as therapeutic activities to help children and other needy families.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u201cAs social workers, we can also influence various policies so that families can receive the best services.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI have many ideas on how to implement ways to structure family interventions in my own context.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Reflections \u2014 Specialized Agencies<\/h4>\r\n

\u201cI learnt a few models such as ASIST that I can learn and bring back home.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u201cLearnt about how to set clear expectations with clients and their families, to ensure that family is engaged and motivated to work with us.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u201cSetting up a games area and play area to support children in my own workplace. This is something I will be discussing with my colleague.”<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThe Many Helping Hands approach! Especially when working with cases with risks. Not only does the social worker get involved, but also the police and other organisations.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI am inspired by the case management protocols designed in Singapore by various departments and organisations.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI am interested to incorporate the use of Apps in my organisation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u201cClear operation flow of casework which is easy to follow, that will influence me to develop a clear family casework process.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Reflections from Singapore<\/h4>\r\n

\u201cInteraction with SSLEP participants gave an insight on the challenges of what others countries\u2019 social services are facing\u2026especially when major stakeholders such as the government do not provide support. This is where social services need to be creative in solving structural issues on the ground\u2026 Our interactions with them also made me reflect on how we can reinvent the approach of how we do social work and community work.\u201d \u2014 Oh Shun Jie, AMKFSC Community Services<\/p>\r\n

\u201cIt was a very fulfilling experience for my colleagues and I. During the preparation and conversations with the social service leaders, we managed to realign our own understanding of what we do as social workers and as a staff team, we had deeper conversations about our role as a Family Service Centre, vis a vis the larger social service context.\u201d \u2014 Jermaine Quek, Trans Family Service Centre<\/p>\r\n

\u201cWe learnt about the similarities and differences between our organisations\u2026 during a mini session of drumming (as a tool for group work), we saw how much music can be used as a therapeutic medium for positive change.\u201d \u2014 Rebecca Ho, Serangoon Moral Family Service Centre<\/p>\r\n
