About
Our service was established in 1962, initially with only 2 staff members. Over the past 50 years, we have developed a team consisting of 18 registered professional social workers. Through family counselling services, family support and resource services, we strive to serve with professional knowledge and spirit to help residents of the Southern District who are in face of life difficulties enabling them to seek a positive way out.
