It means a lot to see the Men’s Kinship Circle featured in The Straits Times.

For a long time, the men journeying with us have felt exactly like the headline reads — bruised, unheard, and unseen. Due to social stigma and expectations, and limited resources, some men suffer in silence and struggle to ask for help.

The heart behind the Men’s Kinship Circle has always been to provide a voice and belonging, where men can support each other through shared experiences. Carefully and intentionally facilitated by our dedicated team, each circle ensures a safe and trusted environment for everyone.

To those who have joined us in this journey and allies who have partnered with us, we thank you for your courage and trust.

Every family has moments where important decisions need to be made. Some conversations happen easily. Others take time, listening, patience, and care.

This International Day of Families, we reflect on the quiet strength found in families coming together, especially during difficult or uncertain moments.

In this short video feature prepared by us, colleagues share reflections on family matters and what it means to support one another through challenges. Through simple, everyday moments, the video reminds us that meaningful decisions are rarely made alone.

These reflections also connect closely to the heart of Family Group Decision Making (FGDM), a collaborative approach that brings families and support systems together to make decisions collectively, with dignity, shared participation, and voice.

As we celebrate families today, we also invite you to join our upcoming FGDM Training on 21 & 22 July 2026.

When a child says, “I was bullied,” it can be hard to know how to respond.

In this episode of Canteen Chats, a podcast series by Ministry of Education, Singapore (MOE), our Executive Director, Justin Mui, shares insights on how parents can better understand what’s happening beneath the surface, to support their child and guide them through conflict.

Drawing from real-life experiences and expertise, Justin highlights the importance of asking the right questions, working closely with schools, and helping children learn how relationships can be repaired.

We are grateful to be part of the Korean Association for Restorative Justice (KARJ)’s learning journey during their recent learning tour to Singapore last week.

Over several days, LCCS shared our work across the community, family, school, and training domains, and facilitated conversations around restorative practices. As fellow practitioners, we exchanged perspectives and insights, learning deeply from one another’s experiences. The visit concluded with a closing circle at LCCS, marked by shared reflections and vulnerable conversations about the real-life impact of restorative work.

We are thankful for the opportunity to learn across borders and to be entrusted with this learning experience. Thank you to Jae Young and the KARJ team for this enriching and meaningful exchange.
