​The programme helps such youths make a fresh start in life through a series of individual counselling, group work and family counselling session.

​Volunteers with the Rehabilitation and Protection Group (RPG) of MSF work closely with youth offenders and young children who have been abused and neglected by their families. They act as befrienders and mentors, giving guidance and support to their charges.

​The Children and Young Persons' Act states that a juvenile is a male or female person who is 7 years or above and below 16 years.

The MSF Youth Homes (i.e. Singapore Boys’ Home and Singapore Girls’ Home) function as a Place of Detention and a Juvenile Rehabilitation Centre for youths who are in conflict with the law, as well as a Place of Safety for youths who are beyond parental control or in need of care and protection.

MSF Youth Homes cater to juveniles who are at risk, or have gotten into trouble with the law, but whose behaviour and circumstances render community-based options inappropriate or unsuitable.

A Family Guidance Order (FGO) is issued to Children or Young Persons (CYPs) who are below 16 years of age and display serious behavioural challenges that parents might apply for the Youth Court's assistance.
