The Wellness Pod
At KVF, we believe that sharing experiences within a supportive community is inherently therapeutic. The Wellness Pod provides support to children aged between 5 and 17 who is grappling with the loss or illness of a close family member.
This programme is made up of two service lines, psychotherapeutic support and educational support.
They are offered free of charge and take place at the KVF Center.
Psychotherapeutic support
In these programmes, support is provided through diverse psycho-educational programmes and activities, each thoughtfully crafted to instill a positive life perspective, empower children to manage their emotions, and fortify their mental well-being.
Our programmes are led by mental health and educational professionals, alongside dedicated child support workers and volunteers, and use a tailored approach for different age groups. The Wellness Pod further supports children through one-to-one therapy and/or group therapy where necessary.
Educational support
We believe in a holistic approach and that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive—both emotionally and academically.
That’s why we offer dedicated educational support, providing one-on-one or small group assistance to children who need extra help catching up or staying on track. Whether a child has missed school due to family hardships, medical treatment, or other challenges, our approach ensures they receive the guidance they need to regain confidence and succeed in their learning journey.
Implementation of Service
1. Referral
A child may be referred to KVF either through a self-referral or through a professional, such as doctor, teacher or social worker.
2. Initial Assessment
Once the referral is submitted and accepted, an internal assessment is held to identify needs.
3. Tailored Care Plan
In a collaborative meeting with the KVF team, the child’s legal guardian and the referring professional, a customised care plan, which may include one-to-one therapy, is developed for the child.
4. Case Review
This care plan undergoes a thorough review every few months to ensure optimal support and address all the evolving needs of the child.
