Nizwa: The Directorate General of Social Development in Al Dakhiliyah Governorate, represented by the Family Development Department, today launched the "Our Safe Home" initiative to promote concepts of family security and foster a home environment based on understanding, affection, and mutual respect among family members.
The initiative focuses on strengthening family cohesion, encouraging positive dialogue within households, and reinforcing shared values that contribute to a safe and stable environment supporting the psychological and social growth of all family members.
The initiative featured three working papers. The first addressed the topic of "How to Find Yourself Amidst the Crowd of Comparisons,” targeting the 13-28 age group. It explored characteristics of future generations, the impact of comparing oneself to others, and tools for psychological balance.
The second paper, titled "Red Flag," examined warning signs during engagement and marriage, distinguishing between normal conflicts and red flags, along with observation mechanisms, educational attention, and self-calming techniques within family and societal contexts—aimed at adolescents and soon-to-be-married individuals.
The third paper is titled “Digital Upbringing in a Fast-Paced World." It highlighted differences between digital and traditional upbringing, characteristics and challenges of the digital world, balancing reality and virtual life, and supportive tools for digital parenting.
This initiative aligns with the Ministry of Social Development’s efforts to enhance family cohesion and establish constructive dialogue principles, contributing to psychological and familial stability while strengthening societal values.
