The Family Development Foundation (FDF) has launchedan innovative ‘Social Counselling Service’ to provide support to families in matters pertaining tofamily dynamics, marital relationships, parenting and behaviour. A team of highly qualified specialists will provide this service, assisting families in overcoming various challengesto bolster overall family stability.
FDF stated that the service also aims to address the widespread issue of ‘marital silence’ by providing assistance to couples struggling with lack of communication, which negatively impacts marital relationships and family stability.
FDF further reiterated that ‘marital silence’ could stem from several factors such as lack of mutual understanding, anger or trust issues, stress and depression. It can increase tension and emotional distance between spouses, detrimentally impacting the rest of the family, particularly children.
To tackle this pressing concern, FDF recommends identification of its root cause, facilitation of open conversation between spouses,practising active listening and creation of shared routines to improve connection and communication. FDF also recommends the usage of positive and constructive language to express emotions as well as seeking professional help when necessary.
