Vista Sakinah conducts the X’tra Family workshop to support and prepare children to adapt to the stepfamily life.  Topics of discussion are more inclined to their understanding of the concept of stepfamily, recognising unique emotions, communication between family members and healthy ways of dealing with new challenges.  

For children who have attended the workshop, or who are in the stepfamily, Vista Sakinah also conducts other enrichment activities such as drama adaptation, immersion and drumming workshops and iftar camps.

In addition to our workshops and group sessions, we also offer private consultations to address specific step family issues. Our experienced counsellors provide personalised guidance and support to help step families navigate challenges related to adjustment, communication issues, and expectations among family members. Every step family is unique, and we strive to provide one-to-one support that meets the needs of each family member.

Vista Sakinah also handles cases referred by the Syariah Court, and collaborates with other agencies. 

Vista Sakinah conducts professional training for social workers and counsellors that aims to educate them on how to better handle issues related to stepfamily.  This training is only held when there are requests.   

Currently, Vista Sakinah’s services and support are also extended to online platforms to safe management measures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
