Education and Support Project for Multi-generational Families
Service Introduction
The “Multi-Generation Family (MGF) Education and Support Project” has been implemented since 2015. The project adheres to the concept of being child and family- oriented and has successfully assisted multi-generational families to establish positive harmonious relationships and arouse the community’s awareness.
Women and Family Enhancement Centre launched the 4th phase of the project in March 2024. The goal is to enhance positive family communication and parenting skills across two generations by continuously providing community education programs for multi-generation family members and training programs for professions. In addition, it is planned to collaborate with industry partners to organize workshops focused on modern caregiving skills to support grandparents and alleviate their stress. The ultimate goal is to create a harmonious and loving environment for the next generation to flourish healthily and happily.
In the 4th phase, the team will focus on promoting the second Sunday of October as "Grandparents' Day". The team will actively promote the importance of acknowledging and appreciating grandparents for their dedication to taking care for the next generation within families and the community. By partnering with social welfare and education sectors, a series of activities centered around grandparents will be launched to reinforce the core message – their support and contribution are truly invaluable!
