To gain a deeper understanding of the working adult mental health issue and their implications for future service development in the sector, The HKCSS publishes “Mental Health: Adult Physical and Mental Wellbeing Series”.

Speakers will also share the experience of “Digital Intervention”, which weaves non‑labelling support naturally into young people’s lives with use of technology. Both open up new possibilities beyond traditional forms of intervention. The seminar will also bring together local scholars and experienced social workers to explore how “Indirect Treatment” and “Digital Intervention” can be flexibly ...
