HKFWS has been providing diversified and innovative services over the years to support the complex and diverse needs of divorced families, helping them transition and adapt to the difficulties and challenges brought about by changes in family relationships.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Society, and therefore the subunits for divorced family services will co-organize the “Research Release cum symposium on Divorced Family Support Services “on 13 December along with pre- and post-seminar workshops. The Society hopes to share and exchange service experiences and achievements with industry insiders who are concerned about the wellbeing of divorced families or are interested in serving divorced families.
For more details about the seminar and the pre- and post-seminar workshops, please refer to the promotional materials below.

The structure of the family and the mode of family care for the elderly have gradually become diversified under the new era and social changes. Therefore community services and medical services often play an important role in supporting elderly and their carers. HKFWS organises a Carer Forum and invites experts from different sectors to share their supporting strategies for family carer, with a view to building a carer-friendly society among different sectors.
In recent years, the mental health of adolescents in Hong Kong has received significant attention. The Hong Kong Family Welfare Society (HKFWS) Youth Service "Power T.A.G. — Boosting Inner Strength Project" conducted the research report on "Exploration Studies on Key Factors Affecting Adolescent Mental Health in Hong Kong" during the 2023-2024 academic year and released the research findings on 8th October.
Recently, there has been an increase in people choosing to immigrate. Despite the family members being physically apart, their relationship has grown even closer than before with their dedication to maintain the relationship. Family wellbeing should not be altered by distance; what truly matters is the effort we put into maintaining it.
This year, as the Society celebrates its 75th anniversary, we have collaborated with the online platform Mill MILK to convey the message "Family is where Love is." Just like Gary and his daughter Jancy in the video, even though Gary may feel sadness as his daughter goes to study aboard in Canada, he will seek to understand and encourage Jancy to pursue her passions. Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, Gary revives his dream of forming a band, bringing the family closer together. Despite the physical apart between Gary and his daughter, their increased communication and improved relationship demonstrate that "Family is where Love is."
