In response to the increasing mental health impacts of the 5th wave of the pandemic, Mind HK will be offering an online workshop consisting of 3-sessions, with the aim of equipping individuals with tools and techniques to support them with managing their wellbeing during the pandemic.

During the sessions, we will be walking through the self-help guideline and exercises with you, and so that you can feel better in the toughest time during the pandemic.

If you are feeling stressed, down, or simply want to learn to take care of your mental health at this time, register and join us on this workshop. The workshop is run by clinicians and it is open to all!

**We recommend participants to first attend our 'Managing Mental Health during the Covid19 Outbreak' Webinar to gain some basic knowledge around how Covid19 is affecting our mental health, in order to produce the best outcome of the workshop. This is optional.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

These workshops are designed to be instructional ‘information-giving’ sessions and are not intended to be a form of group therapy.

You will not be expected or asked to openly share any personal difficulties you have during the sessions, but will be asked to work through personal examples on your own as we work through some written exercises.

We will have mental health professionals available to provide additional signposting support following each session if required.

Confidentiality is important to us, and so we respect people’s preferences for anonymity during these sessions. It will therefore be optional to display names and turn cameras on during each session.

After registration:

Please download a copy of our self-help workbook and have this to hand before attending each session: https://www.mind.org.hk/covid-19-self-help-guide/ as we will be working through sections of this workbook during each session.
