They reach out to identify at risk families via screening and provide follow-up support. At the community level, they offer school-based educational programs on emotions and dating violence prevention.

Community education programs and parenting skills training are also provided to the public to promote harmonious and healthy family relations.

They provide training to multi-disciplinary professionals and advocate for policies and legislations on behalf of victims of violence, their families and communities.
