Our Signature Programmes
What's New
Trauma-informed care requires a compassionate understanding of traumatic stress reactions and common responses to trauma triggers, in creating an environment that avoids re-traumatising our residents.
The five guiding principles proposed by Drs Maxine Harris and Rogr Fallot include:
Safety – Ensuring both physical and emotional safety through protection
Trustworthiness – Maximising trust through clear expectations and consistent boundaries
Choice – Making choice and control a priority for our residents
Collaboration – Sharing power and working together towards common goals
Empowerment – Recognising strengths and skills to build a realistic sense of a hope and a future
At HCSA Dayspring, our residential care is designed to be like a family, and each resident will be matched with a care team upon admission, comprising a clinical psychologist, a case worker and youth mentor. Our residents have regular counselling sessions to help them develop an individualised treatment plan, and their parents or guardians also have mandatory family sessions to meet family treatment goals.

🌏💡 Sharing knowledge, shaping futures!
HCSA Community Services was honoured to be part of the Third Training on the United Nations Standards and Norms on the Treatment of Prisoners for senior correctional staff in Thailand.
Our very own Shawn Lim (Head of HCSA Highpoint) and Sony Haq (Head of HCSA Academy) were invited to present on Post-release support and reducing reoffending, sharing valuable insights on how HCSA helps former inmates reintegrate sustainably into society.
By championing second chances and holistic support, we can break the cycle of reoffending and create a more inclusive community. 💙✨

Each year, more than 2,000 new cases of child abuse are reported in Singapore, with high safety and risk concerns for the youth. These children have unfortunately experienced sexual abuse, severe neglect, or serious injuries inflicted by their parents or caregivers,
When a child’s safety is compromised, statutory intervention is required. The child may be removed from her home and placed in alternative care arrangements such as HCSA Dayspring. We offer a caring, safe, and therapeutic environment for these young trauma survivors, helping them heal and rebuild their lives.

🌟 Finding Closure: Lai Peng’s Journey of Healing from Delayed Grief 🌟
Lai Peng found her voice to grief after the passing of her husband with counselling from the HCSA SPIN Care Team, and the strength to help her young neurodivergent son with his own grief as well. Together, mother and son have grown closer in their shared delayed grief and healing.
Balancing the roles of grieving wife and devoted mother to a son with Down Syndrome, Lai Peng masked her pain from those around her. Her family, unaware of the emotional toll, assumed she was coping well. Yet beneath the surface, Lai Peng was emotionally drained and struggling to cope with her son’s growing curiosity about the absence of a father figure.
Initially, opening up was difficult for Lai Peng. The weight of her grief and the years of silence had created barriers she wasn’t sure she could overcome. Yet, over months of counselling, she began to find her voice. Lai Peng’s son also began receiving tailored grief counselling. The sessions not only supported his emotional growth but also strengthened their bond as mother and son.
✨ Lai Peng reminds us that no one should face life’s struggles alone. Your generosity can help more women like Lai Peng rewrite their futures.
Support our Wall of Giving campaign and help single mothers and young girls build safe homes, foster stronger family bonds, and restore hope in their lives.
