About the Programme In collaboration with StoryTaler (說書人)
Are you aware that 1 in every 7 people will develop common mental disorder(s) in their lifetime? We all may suffer from mental health issues. Mental disorder is like a hidden killer that causes an insidious effect on anyone physically and mentally, if it is not diagnosed and treated in the early stage. Through this programme, you’ll have the opportunity to know more about common mental disorders in Hong Kong through sharing from former patients. You’ll also have a chance to co-create watercolour paintings to promote the importance of mental health with former patients. And the co-created paintings will be posted to our social media platforms to raise public awareness on the importance of mental health!
