The 40th issue of the Policy Bulletin, “Where is Empathy Space for Working Adults?” is aimed at discussing the mental health situation of working adults in Hong Kong, as well as the ways they seek public and private support services and the pain points involved. In addition to public and private mental health services, this issue also explores different non-mental-health community stakeholders—such as fitness coaches, yoga instructors, church pastors, monastery, Chinese medicine practitioners, pharmacists, and corporate human resources departments—who encounter and support working individuals showing emotional symptoms in their service settings. It examines if and how these stakeholders and their service venues can become part of the effort to promote mental health, with the aim of inspiring different sectors to jointly explore weaving a more supportive mental safety net for the working population. This issue of the Policy Bulletin is divided into four chapters, each focusing on a core theme: ...

As Hong Kong has become a super-aged society, the community demand for elderly care, carer support, end-of-life care, and post-death arrangements is growing. To align with the government's policy direction of "Aging in Place as the Core, Institutional Care as Back-up," our Council previously organized the "Collaboration and Localization Project on 'Compassionate Communities'" and liaised with relevant organizations in selected districts to establish pilot sites. And the frontline social workers were engaged to discuss and design a practice on "Compassionate Community" tailored to local needs. Located in a remote area with relatively limited medical resources, Sai Kung is selected as one of pilot site which faces significant challenges in providing timely support for "Aging in Place." Therefore, there is a need to prepare the elderly for future care arrangements and even end-of-life wishes earlier. However, many social service workers find it difficult to initiate conversations on life and death, possibly ...
