Lutheran Community Care Services (LCCS)

Every family has moments where important decisions need to be made. Some conversations happen easily. Others take time, listening, patience, and care.

This International Day of Families, we reflect on the quiet strength found in families coming together, especially during difficult or uncertain moments.

In this short video feature prepared by us, colleagues share reflections on family matters and what it means to support one another through challenges. Through simple, everyday moments, the video reminds us that meaningful decisions are rarely made alone.

These reflections also connect closely to the heart of Family Group Decision Making (FGDM), a collaborative approach that brings families and support systems together to make decisions collectively, with dignity, shared participation, and voice.

As we celebrate families today, we also invite you to join our upcoming FGDM Training on 21 & 22 July 2026.

Our Kinship Men Support Circle serves as a safe, confidential space for men affected by harm in intimate partner relationships.

Many men carry these experiences alone. Through this circle, we offer a voice, choice, and belonging — a place to be heard, supported, and understood. Allies who wish to walk alongside men are also welcome.

We are grateful to be part of the Korean Association for Restorative Justice (KARJ)’s learning journey during their recent learning tour to Singapore last week.

Over several days, LCCS shared our work across the community, family, school, and training domains, and facilitated conversations around restorative practices. As fellow practitioners, we exchanged perspectives and insights, learning deeply from one another’s experiences. The visit concluded with a closing circle at LCCS, marked by shared reflections and vulnerable conversations about the real-life impact of restorative work.

We are thankful for the opportunity to learn across borders and to be entrusted with this learning experience. Thank you to Jae Young and the KARJ team for this enriching and meaningful exchange.

Merry Christmas from LCCS! 🎄

We are grateful to our partners, donors, friends and families for walking alongside us. Your ongoing support has been vital in helping us strengthen our practice — to foster connection, healing and restoration within communities.

Wishing you a Christmas filled with peace, hope and meaningful connections! We look forward to your continued support in 2026.
