SUPER PARENTS Programme
In 2022, the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) launched the pilot SUPport and EmpowER (SUPER) MUM programme to assist working mothers in balancing personal well-being and professional responsibilities. This initiative provided 141 working parents with 14 experiential group coaching sessions and 11 individuals with 80 one-to-one sessions, fostering alignment with workplace culture during critical stages of parenting. The programme evolved into SUPER PARENTS to include fathers, enabling families to collaboratively navigate challenges and achieve positive outcomes. This transformative approach underscores a commitment to empowering working parents and fostering inclusive workplace dynamics.
