From 27 October 2022 to 25 May 2023, FSC ran our first Men’s Edition, exclusively for men aged 21 years old and above. This edition is designed to help participants appreciate the multiple roles they play in various environments and the challenges that come with the different roles. The roles included those of a son, a father, a husband, a friend, a colleague or a volunteer.

Taking into consideration each participant’s knowledge of the subject matter, level of skills and experience, the group work sought to reinforce and facilitate members’ understanding of the topic discussed in each session. Case studies, group discussions and role-plays were employed to support their learning. The learning outcome was for the group to be able to describe the various roles men undertake and the associated challenges.

At the graduation session, the participants shared that the group work programme helped them gain deeper self-awareness so they could better undertake various roles in their family. It is envisioned that the psycho-educational group will evolve into a support group after the sessions are completed for the members to continue connecting with one another as an additional platform for emotional and social support.

Held once a month at FSC (Clementi) on a weekday afternoon, the group work sessions were facilitated by Senior Social Workers Mr Muhammad Sofian Moojimmy and Ms Chey Siow Wei.
