Embracing Professionalism in Counselling and Transforming to Serve the Community
The logo consists of two figures intertwined and elevated in a spiral to reflect open communication and knowledge sharing among SAC members, and with local agencies and government bodies, to achieve mutual interests and collaborative efforts in the effective provision of services to clients.
The blue hue represents the organisation’s values of professionalism, integrity and ethics, while the warm hue offers respect and diversity through protection. The five stars embedded in the blue spiral symbolises SAC’s five defining values: Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Diversity and Ethics. At another level, it is also a reflection of it being a Singapore brand.
