DAMMAM: The Weaam Association for Family Care in the Eastern Province has succeeded in addressing more than 700 cases of family disputes during the last one year.

Abdulrahman Al-Khudair, Weaam’s director of public delations, said: “The association offered a number of new services, including family reforms, which contributed to the resolution of 120 family disputes and 50 conciliation cases, as well as a consulting service to 537 other cases.”

The association has provided free training programs to 4,590 male and female beneficiaries, coordinated the creation of four guidance and counseling programs that benefited 1,480 people and established a department that includes a database of about 250 volunteers.

Al-Khudair said the association warns of the danger of divorce due to a low level of awareness of family rights and duties in the Saudi community. The association is working through its strategic plan for the next 3 years to achieve family stability and maintain the social fabric.
