Shiu Pong College and Moon Chun Memorial College: Mental Health Awareness Week 2021
The WHO recognizes World Mental Health Day on 10 October every year, with the overall objective of raising awareness of mental health issues around the world and mobilizing efforts in support of mental health. With this opportunity, SPC and MCMC held a “Mental Health Awareness Week” from 11 to 20 October, and attracted over 1,000 participants across the campus. There were a series of online activities and workshops including “Self-care during COVID-19”, “Emoji Challenge”, “Let’s Talk About Depression”, “Singing Bowl Relaxation”, “Aroma Self-Healing”, “Time Tunnel: Self-Exploration” and a “Step-by-Step Community Health Program”. The aim of these activities and workshops was to raise students’ awareness of mental health issues, increase their accessibility to psychological counselling resources, and help students to establish positive mental health habits and reduce stress. This university-wide campaign received positive response and participants actively interacted with speakers online, and they looked forward to participating in more mental health related activities in the future.
