You are donating to : “Whisper in Sunshine” Online Youth Mental Health Support Services
In the face of ongoing social issues and the sudden onset of the pandemic, everyone hopes to emerge from the darkness and return to normalcy. For young people who have just entered society, they may feel particularly lost and burdened by increasing psychological stress.
In August 2020, the Department of Social Work and Social Administration at the University of Hong Kong released a study on the mental distress among young people. It found that over 20% of young people experience “severe” to “extremely severe” levels of depression or anxiety, with various social pressures triggering different traumatic experiences.
Therefore, the Mental Health Foundation seeks public support to launch online mental health support groups. These groups aim to provide appropriate emotional support services to help young people aged 18-25 overcome traumatic experiences and navigate important stages in their lives.
With every HKD 30,000 raised, we can conduct an 8-session online mental health support group. Each group can accommodate 6-8 young individuals, with each session lasting 75-90 minutes. If the final amount raised does not reach a multiple of three, after deducting the costs for the maximum number of support groups that can be held, the remaining funds will be used to organize (online or in-person) mental health workshops. Supporters of this initiative will have priority access to these workshops.
Every dollar of your support is a force driving mental health forward!
*Donations of HKD 100 or more will receive a donation receipt.
