CNA938 Rewind - A Letter to Myself: "The mess is the material" — how probation officer Ben Poh helps young offenders find better ways to manage life

Ben Poh began his career as a police officer. But when he began noticing the same young people committing the same offences, he got curious about the social and family factors that contributed to their behaviour, and wondered if he could play a part in their rehabilitation. Today, Ben is a probation officer and manager with the Ministry of Social and Family Development. He shares the lessons he's learned about rehabilitation, growth, and the importance of family, through the cases he's managed.
