As Singapore bands together to ride out this challenging season of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Centre for Fathering remains committed to providing unwavering support towards helping fathers become more engaged and active fathers.
With many fathers working at home this month, it is indeed an opportune time for fathers to bond with their families. While our on-site programmes and fathers group meetings have halted, this has not stopped us from reaching fathers through online workshops. Many fathers group are also pressing on to meet up online!
To engage families who are spending more time at home, we have also designed various resources such as conversation starters extracted from the DADs for Life Knowing Me Knowing You family card game as well as DADs Guides with useful tips for fathers on COVID-19.
