Allkin Singapore's marriage & parenting support programmes equip couples and parents with the knowledge, skills and confidence that they need to nurture positive family dynamics, strengthen parent-child relationships, and manage behavioural issues in children.
Through an evidence-based and research-driven approach, Allkin Singapore's marriage & parenting support programmes equip couples and parents with the knowledge, skills and confidence that they need to nurture positive family dynamics, strengthen parent-child relationships, and manage behavioural issues in children.
By participating in our workshops and seminars, engaging in consultations with our professionals, and joining groupwork sessions, parents can strengthen their parenting capabilities and marital ties, so their families can build closer bonds and thrive as one.
These programmes are delivered as part of the Ministry of Social and Family Development's nationwide Families For Life @ Community (FFLC) initiative, which Allkin Singapore was appointed to operate in the Ang Mo Kio and Yishun regions.
