Aims:
To raise awareness on schooling difficulties and promote early intervention strategies for supporting these young individuals
Organisers:
The University of Hong Kong and LevelMind@JC-Caritas(Kwai Tsing)
Brief Introduction:
In recent years, the prevalence of schooling difficulties among youths has become a growing concern for school personnel and helping professionals. Many youths with mental distress or disorders encounter barriers such as school refusal or phobia, hindering their educational progress. To prevent social isolation and facilitate their re-engagement with society, it is crucial for these individuals to receive transitional care that focuses on enhancing their self-regulation on mental health and rebuilding trust and security within themselves, their families, and society.
The two-day program will incorporate with some essential elements, such as youth co-creation and a narrative practice-oriented approach. We will share insights from a documentation study on effectively supporting youths facing these challenges, along with preliminary findings from the program evaluation conducted by The University of Hong Kong.
This seminar provides a valuable platform for various stakeholders to learn from each other and exchange ideas. We sincerely hope that you will be able to attend and contribute to this important discussion.
