Family
Support Services
Our support services department
is a very important sector of the social service
network system. We link our clients with the available
community resources; provide information and education
along with referral services. This is the most
vital part of our service system. At MFS we believe
that the principles upon which a family is founded
are based on defined responsibilities that form
and make up a healthy and balanced relationship
not only between husband and wife, but also parents,
children and relatives of the nuclear family.
A family can only grow morally and spiritually
if every member of the multigenerational family
system are bonded and committed to a solid and
joyful relationship. Thus Islam offers us a whole
package of guidance relating to marriage, family
life, raising children, caring elders, serving
relatives and also provides solution for the problems
in crisis management style. Our target in MFS
is to combine Islamic guidance and professional
skills in our services while maintaining confidentiality
in all aspects.

Support
services for cognitively and physically challenged
Impairments affect an individual and his
support network significantly. We as social workers
at MFS acknowledge the person-in-environment theory,
where in the focus are not only on how to provide services
to the individual but also to every member in his/her
family, friends, social system that require outreach/help/assistance;
and deal with issues surrounding impairments sensitively.
We also understand the caregiver burden issues and therefore
our support services are focused on informing clients
of day programs available to avoid caregiver burnouts,
isolations. We are available to provide any community
information that may benefit our client in these circumstances.
Our counsellors are also available to discuss any challenges
clients or their care givers face. |
