Our Campaign Story

ends 30 Jun 2023, 11:59 PM

Meet Isaac (not his real name), a Primary 4 student enrolled in Canossaville Student Care.

When Isaac was just 3 years old, he relocated to Singapore with his mother, Ms Daisy after a failed marriage. They moved in with her parents. These numerous changes proved to be very traumatic for him.

Ms Daisy did not have a good relationship with her parents and had difficulties rebuilding her career. The stresses at home and at work made it difficult for her to properly support Isaac as he entered primary school.

Upon learning the family situation, the Canossian Child Development Unit's counsellor held sessions with Ms Daisy who learnt techniques to cope with her stresses. Isaac himself is also receiving art therapy to express himself and cope better in school.

The family is the most significant community for every child and Canossaville extends our services to both the child and his or her family. This is in the hopes of improving their situation, and empowering them to support their child in turn.
