Health in Mind Programme (Second Year)
15 senior form students completed the "Youth Mental Health Promotion Programme - Health in Mind", organised by the Hospital Authority, Kwai Chung Hospital and MINDSET of the Jardine Matheson Group. In these two years (2015-2017), students attended workshops about mental health, organised activities for schoolmates and for rehabilitated patients. Apart from polishing their leadership skills, students also acquired knowledge about mental illness, developed the spirit of respect and took on the responsibility to "educate" others so as to help to eliminate the stigma faced by people with mental illness in society.
