The themes for the 2017-18 Pilot Scheme are "Parent Education - Parenting Stress" and "Step and Split Families".
Interested parties are welcome to join the briefing session to be held in the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre, Kowloon Park, Haiphong Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, on April 7 (Friday) to learn more about the scope of the Pilot Scheme. Prior reservation is required.
