What is this about?
Ensuring equal treatment and access to rights is crucial, especially for those navigating mental health challenges. This workshop will explore the key provisions of Hong Kong’s anti-discrimination laws, including the Disability Discrimination Ordinance (Cap. 487), and how they apply to mental health. A speaker from the legal field will provide practical insights into the rights as a patient or client, how to recognise and address discrimination.
Join us for an engaging session filled with expert guidance, case scenarios, and interactive discussions, all aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of the legal protections and empowering you to advocate for yourself and others. Whether you’re an interested individual, a family member, a health/mental health professional or a workplace HR/leader, this workshop will equip you with the tools to navigate Hong Kong’s legal landscape on mental health with confidence.

- Introduction to the Disability Discrimination Ordinance (Cap. 487) and relevant case laws.
