Our Care Approach
Trauma-informed Care
- As the majority of the residents have a history of trauma and may have difficulty trusting others, MWS adopts the principles of traumainformed care — such as ensuring our residents’ safety, respecting their boundaries, providing consistent care and jointly making decisions with them — which help improve outcomes
- Upon admission to the Residence, every resident is given an individualised care plan, supported by a level progression system that enables her to strive towards rehabilitation with rewards
