Community Partnership to Support Families and Children of Offenders and Ex-offenders (PID140)

12pm – 12.30pm EDT, 24 October 2023 ‐ 30 mins

Workshop Session

Singapore Prison Service (SPS) recognises the importance of supporting and involving families and children of offenders and ex-offenders, which aims to promote desistance in the ex-offender, and mitigate the risk of inter-generational offending.  

This presentation will share local research and evidence-based theories used to inform The Neu Empowerment Model which enables case managers to guide the children and youth to achieve a sense of control. The presentation will also share ongoing and recent initiatives undertaken by SPS, NeuGen, and  community partners to involve and support the offenders' families, especially children, in the rehabilitation and reintegration journey, through various initiatives like coordinated referral process and strengthening the community network.
