Dear colleagues: The population of employed caregivers in Hong Kong is continuously rising, and they bear a double burden, enduring both physical and mental pressure while balancing work and caregiving responsibilities. In recent years, public attention to caregiver issues has significantly increased. More and more corporations recognize that supporting the caregiving needs of their employees is not only an expression of fulfilling social responsibility, but also a key investment in enhancing employee sense of belonging, stability, and productivity. The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) has always been committed to advocating and promoting a "Caregiver-Friendly" society, and actively acts as a bridge between the social welfare sector and the business sector. We observe that many corporations are willing to provide substantial support to employed caregivers, but may not know where to start or lack channels to access professional service providers. To respond to the above needs, HKCSS is currently planning to establish a resource bank of "Caregiver Support Services Available for Corporate Purchase". This move differs from past one-way data collection, aiming to: Organize and showcase the professional services that agencies can provide via a "Corporate Purchase" model. Promote this resource bank to the business sector, corporate Human Resources ...

This collaboration focuses on two community-based programmes designed to address key societal needs: digital health management in an ageing society, and family financial education and communications, as well as anti-scam awareness. “SilverConnect” improves healthcare access for the elderly and their caregivers at home and residential care facilities through the development of a tele-practice platform and various gerontechnologies, promoting the approach of “early detection, early intervention”. “Treasure Wealth, Treasure Love” Family Financial Education Programme promotes a holistic approach to financial education, family communications and anti-scam awareness to strengthen the resilience of low-income families.

自1999年首屆研討會成功舉辦以來，這個匯聚中國內地、香港及澳門三地專家、學者與前線同工的專業平台，至今已邁入第十三屆。多年來，我們透過研討會就藥物濫用防治的複雜議題坦誠交流、互相學習,致力提升全國防治工作的專業水平。 當前全球毒品形勢日益嚴峻，新興毒品層出不窮，販毒手法亦日益科技化，為防治工作帶來前所未有的挑戰。基於此，本屆研討會以「抗毒無疆界·共享健康新境界」為主題，彰顯毒品問題無分地域，防治工作亦應跨越界限、協同應對。本論文集所收錄的文稿，正是此理念的具體體現。我們在評審過程中，著重論文的實證基礎、分析深度與創新思維，匯聚了豐富的實踐經驗與深刻反思。 論文內容涵蓋多層面的防治策略。在預防方面，研究聚焦依托咪酯等新興毒品於青少年間的風險與文化背景，並提出跨境合作與社區教育模式，以提升識別與介入的效能。在治療與康復方面，學者運用大數據建模、行為藥理學與神經影像學等方法，探索更精準的實證途徑;同時強調家庭系統與同儕支援的重要性,推動社區與家庭共同參與復元歷程。論文亦關注從康復到續顧的完整照顧鏈，包括監獄外展、社區復元服務及朋輩訓練，以支持濫藥者重返社會。 在風險管理層面，研究檢視針具交換計劃、美沙酮療程及丙肝防治，突顯跨專業合作對濫藥者健康保障的關鍵作用;另有專題探討特定社群，如 Chemsex 人士、女性吸毒者及司法轉介個案，提出多元化介入策略。這些成果不僅深化了從預防、治療到康復的全鏈條策略，也彰顯跨學科與跨區域協作的價值，為粵港澳禁毒工作的長效合作奠定堅實基礎。 我們期望本論文集中的洞見與創新實踐，能為各位同工帶來啟發，並轉化為更有效的抗毒行動。我們深信，只要持續交流與協作，定能攜手鞏固防線，共創無毒、健康的未來。 最後，我謹代表籌備委員會，衷心感謝所有惠賜鴻文的作者，您們的無私分享是推動防治工作不斷前行的動力!同時亦感謝中國藥物濫用防治協會與澳門特別行政區政府社會工作局的鼎力支持，以及論文評審委員的辛勞付出，使本屆研討會及論文集得以順利面世。歡迎下載 鄭妙娜女士 香港戒毒會社會福利總監 第十三屆全國藥物濫用防治研討會 香港籌委會主席 ...
