The initiative includes radio episodes, workshops for company staff and public activities in malls and councils.
By Felo News Desk · Published
The Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) announced on Monday that it has broadened its community awareness programmes as part of the UAE’s Year of the Family 2026.
What happened
During the first nine months of 2026 the ADJD aired 27 episodes of its weekly "Happy Home" programme on Abu Dhabi Holy Qur’an Radio, covering topics such as relationship advice and positive behaviour. It also held seven interactive workshops for employees of national companies, seven council‑based awareness lectures under the Majalisna initiative, and five days of family‑focused activities in shopping malls in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain to mark the International Day of Families. In addition, the department provided counselling services at the Sheikh Zayed Festival.
What the reports add
Gulf News noted that the radio series aimed to improve communication between family members, while the workshops targeted the link between home stability and employee performance. The council lectures were described as opportunities for community members to discuss family‑related issues, and the mall events combined games, educational sessions and family consultations.
What was said
The ADJD said the expanded programme would continue using varied communication channels to reach more families across the emirate.
How it came about
The initiative forms part of broader efforts highlighted in recent Felo News coverage, including the Cities for Families Framework unveiled at LIVEX 2026 and the Abu Dhabi leaders’ emphasis on livability and social cohesion.
