Speaking at the organisation's annual back-to-school giveback, where children benefit from free haircuts, Husbands said some children feel their parents do not care about them because of tension at home.
He said the Second Chance Programme now includes monthly parent interventions to help families better manage these challenges.
Husbands said he is already seeing the skills parents learn being applied in their homes.
Husbands also says the Second Chance Programme continues to be a success, revealing that more children are being identified as struggling with basic reading and writing skills.
He said the programme has developed to not only help children address these challenges, but also extend support to adults who struggle with literacy.

- Another local church has joined forces with members of the private sector to help at least 100 children prepare for the new school year.
Prophetic Prayer Protocol Ministries International today provided school supplies to children in need and distributed groceries to less fortunate families.
Senior Pastor, Apostle Calvin Marshall, says the initiative is part of the church's commitment to following the teachings of the Bible and its responsibility to assist vulnerable members of the community.
The Apostle says this is the third edition of its Back-to-School Outreach Programme, and that it also does a similar outreach during the Christmas season.
He says the vision is to reach more communities and eventually expand the programme to other countries.

- Description
- The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) is calling for greater use of evaluation to guide policies, programmes and investment across the region.
Vice President Operations at the Bank, Dr Isaac Solomon, says with Caribbean countries facing multiple economic and development challenges, good intentions alone are not enough.
He was speaking at the closing ceremony of the Caribbean Evaluation Space 2026, where for three days, evaluators, policymakers, development practitioners, academics and civil society representatives discussed how evaluation can help improve development outcomes.
Dr Isaac says evaluation should not be viewed as something that happens only at the end of a project.
Instead, it should be part of the entire development cycle, from identifying a problem to assessing whether the solution actually worked.
