A NOTE FROM OUR
FORMER CHAIRMAN,
Cultivating Strong
Parent-Child Bonds
With support from IMDA and Digital for Life, we encouraged 1.1 million* parents to foster meaningful parent-child relationships and raise digital literate children through Capture the Wonder: Taking on Digital Adventures.
The campaign featured a handy mini activity book and digital resources for parents to deepen connections with their children and to help them understand digital boundaries.

Marriage and Parenting
A recent Fatherhood Involvement and Marriage Aspirations Survey conducted by Focus on the Family Singapore revealed that fathers are most involved in providing income, discipline and being protective. However, they are least involved in the aspects of spiritual development, school/homework and career development.
A poll also reflected that 80% believe a strong marriage is key to empowering fathers to play their role better. This suggests that a healthy marriage is foundational for building strong parent-child relationships.
Youth and the Next Generation
As many as 1 in 3 youth in Singapore reported very poor mental health, with anxiety being the mental health issue that most young people faced (The Straits Times, 29 Sep 2024).
An increasing number of children and youth are experiencing family instability at a young age. The Singapore Mental Health Study in 2016 found that nearly 2 in 3 adults in Singapore had experienced at least one stressful or traumatic event, such as emotional neglect or parental death or separation, from birth to age 18.

We welcomed the 10th batch of FamChamps at our annual FamChampsTM Camp Experience. With the support of their mentors, 85 youths will embark on an 8-month journey of equipping and applied learning through Family Service Projects for their school community.
Through FamChamps Camp, youths grew in their understanding of how breakdowns in family affect society and how to communicate with their parents.

Developing Emerging Leaders
Since 2019, we have appointed to the FamChamps Council, 20 emerging young leaders who are passionate about influencing their generation for Family. These young leaders engaged directly with marketplace leaders in fireside chats and were equipped through workshops on cultivating culture.
They also represented FamChamps at community and national youth initiatives and are currently designing a ground-up project to advocate for family among their peers.
