These are the first points of contact for women reaching out to CARE. First Response is run with the help of staff, consultants and volunteers, who bring a diverse range of cross-sectoral expertise to the table: from social work, psychology and medicine, to public administration, law, computer science and business administration.<\/p><p>Since its inception in 1991 and after 30 years in operation, the Women\u2019s Helpline has equipped a diverse group of women to provide non-judgemental, empowerment-focused assistance and information. Grounded in feminist principles, the Helpline treats callers as equals, recognising women as resourceful and capable even in the most difficult and challenging situations.<\/p><p>The online chat service, which was launched in May 2020, saw 223 sessions\u2014an increase in demand of 12.6% in 2021\u2014with 75% of those who accessed the service indicating that they did not have a quiet or safe place to access support over the phone, and\/or did not want anyone to know they were seeking help.<\/p><p>The prolonged COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on women\u2019s mental health. In 2021, WCC First Response channels saw a 9% increase in emotional and psychological distress over 2020 (with 36% of our total callers seeking support for this issue in 2021). This could be the result of increased caregiving responsibilities, the struggle to balance work and family, or anxiety about getting sick and experiencing loss of income. The stress of staying at home for longer periods, with sustained curbs on social interactions, could also have been a factor, as social support systems for women became even more limited in COVID\u2019s second year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5d0af0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"d5d0af0\"

We work to build clients\u2019 knowledge about available options and work with clients to promote a strong and positive sense of self.<\/p><p>A big focus for the counselling team in 2021 was stabilisation, after another tumultuous year managing the fluctuating changes of COVID-19. The team saw itself through process improvements and automation in scheduling and payment processes. The team also carried out capacity-building and monitoring exercises to ensure that counsellors were taken care of and equipped to provide high-quality support. This was very important in 2021, as the number of counselling sessions increased by 25.3% over 2020, alongside a 5.3% increase in clients, although our pool of counsellors remained consistent. We also saw more past clients resuming their sessions this year, in part due to the convenience of online sessions over Zoom. In order to promote ease of access to counselling support services, we remain an affordable option for clients despite a revision in counselling fees (starting July 2021). We offer a fee-waiver option for those in financial hardship.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35cb7fe elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"35cb7fe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ac880c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5ac880c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"851\" src=\"https:\/\/aware.org.sg\/report2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WCC-Counselling.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aware.org.sg\/report2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WCC-Counselling.png 1200w, https:\/\/aware.org.sg\/report2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WCC-Counselling-300x213.png 300w, https:\/\/aware.org.sg\/report2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WCC-Counselling-1024x726.png 1024w, https:\/\/aware.org.sg\/report2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/WCC-Counselling-768x545.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ebc7be elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3ebc7be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The counselling team and support staff have grown stronger amidst the challenges presented by COVID, establishing more robust and streamlined processes to provide consistent remote support to both volunteer counsellors and clients.

In the last quarter of 2021, the legal clinic frequency was lowered to allocate resources more efficiently.

continues to be the only gender- and trauma-informed specialised service for survivors of sexual assault in Singapore. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of the lack of support services for survivors of other genders apart from women, SACC continues to extend its services to all survivors in Singapore.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2021, SACC provided support to survivors in 1,032 cases of sexual assault through our first response channels and support services. 2021 was the second year in a row that SACC supported over a thousand cases.<\/span><\/p><p>After a very busy 2020, 2021 was all about stabilising and strengthening our team to be able to continue to provide support to survivors of sexual assault. We adopted focused strategies, including expanding our staff and volunteer support pool, encouraging relevant training options for the team, and adopting smart technologies to improve operational efficiency. Additionally, we implemented internal self-care initiatives including regular team huddles and supervision sessions for the team to share and learn from each other\u2019s service provision experiences. Internally, we saw an increase in staff morale and well-being.<\/p><p>Another noteworthy change was our introduction of a new triaging service model to better identify the needs of survivors who reach out to us, and provide support, information and services to them more efficiently. This model was launched at a time when demand was far higher than what we could manage with our limited resources and funding. New services were also emerging in Singapore, such as the National Anti-Violence Hotline. This gave us the ideal opportunity to review our service-provision model. It led to a restructuring of our service boundaries.<\/p><p>Through the new model, we were able to prioritise the right amount of resources for cases with different levels of risk and needs. For cases with high risk or needs, we activated more resources. For some cases, we redirected them to more appropriate services. For example, we directed intra-family cases to Family Violence Specialist Centres. This model has proven to be key to our stability and to the growth of the team.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-43d82af elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"43d82af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2076650 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2076650\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">I.
