With assistance from staff of the centre, parents and relatives / carers would learn how to take care of their family members with disabilities or with difficulties on upbringing, exchange experience and establish mutual support. The service would help parents or other family members / relatives / carers to accept their family members with disabilities or with difficulties on upbringing, strengthen the function of family and help parents and relatives / carers to cope with the difficulties and pressure in taking care of their family members with disabilities or with difficulties on upbringing. |
