HKFWS takes a “Family-centric” perspective for service development. We believe family is paramount and devote ourselves to strengthen family wellbeing. Regardless of family backgrounds or facing difficulties, we are pleased to provide support. We also utilise community resources to alleviate their imminent hardships. Some advices are provided by our professional team derived from their past working experience here for your reference when you are in need.
It is recommended to inform your parents the reason behind. While expressing your understanding on their emotions, you can also tell them your worries on their health and potential chance of getting infected. Under the deteriorating COVID-19 situation, you can make calls to care for them. The most important thing is to keep in touch with them, relieving their concern towards grandchildren. You may consider visiting them under safe conditions (e.g. their living building is not on the lists of compulsory testing and restriction-testing declaration) or when there is improvement in the pandemic situation.
