Brief Introduction

 

Small Group Homes is one of the services developed by the Society in recent years. Through a caring and homelike environment and the provision of life skills training, school work counselling and recreational activities, children deprived of proper family support are given care and concern, and are hence able to grow up happily like normal children. Our small group home workers maintain a close contact with the children's families during their stay in the homes. Efforts will be
made to prepare for the return of the children back to their families when situation permits.

 

 

 

Special Features

Three of our small group homes at Hau Tak Homes, Tseung Kwan O, are "integrated small group homes" in that they admit children with mild mental handicap. Such a setting helps develop mutual respect among children from different backgrounds.

One of our small group homes at Lok Fu Estate admits older boys aged between 10 and 18, thereby attending to a long neglected service gap in Hong Kong.

Lok Fu Estate and Hau Tak Estate have two Emergency / Short-term places respectively for children aged 4 to 18 who are in need of temporary care away from their home due to various family problems or crises.

Target Group

 

Children and young people aged between 4 and 18.

Children and young people who are lack of proper family care.

Children with no severe behavioral and emotional difficulties.

They are willing to receive our service.

They have no physical and mental abnormalities; however, some of our small group homes do admit children having mild mental handicaps.

Application Procedures

 

Application to our small group homes should be made through social workers of the Social Welfare Department and other subvented non-governmental organizations as well as school social workers to the Central Referral System for Residential Care (CRSRC).
