Tuen Mun Children and Juvenile Home, Juvenile rehabilitation facility in Tuen Mun District, Hong Kong
The Tuen Mun Children and Juvenile Home is a residential facility in Tuen Mun that provides care for young people ages 10 to 15 who have been referred through the court system. The building contains separate zones for activities, education, and living quarters, alongside medical and counseling facilities.
This facility opened in 2007 as a consolidation of six separate children's homes that had previously been scattered across Hong Kong. The merger allowed for more coordinated care and better use of resources for young residents.
The home's Chinese name, 屯門兒童及青少年院, is used in the vertical signs by the gate. Its programmes include education, vocational training, community service and recreational activities, and parents or guardians are arranged to visit and take residents on home leave. A book titled 天生不壞, written by nine teachers at the home, adapts students' stories into nine accounts.
The facility is located on San Shek Wan North Road in Tuen Mun and is accessible by public transportation from central Hong Kong. Access is restricted for security and privacy reasons, so visitors should arrange visits in advance through official channels.
All services at this center, including medical care, psychological support, and job training, are provided at no cost to residents. Regular family visits are a key part of the program to maintain and strengthen connections with loved ones.
