The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust has initiated and funded the LevelMind@JC project to establish a community-based and stigma-free youth mental wellness service model to support the evolving needs of young people aged 12 to 24. With an approved donation of some HK$295 million from the Trust, the project is co-created by The University of Hong Kong (HKU) and six non-governmental organisations – the Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs Association of Hong Kong, Caritas Hong Kong, Hong Kong Playground Association, Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, St. James’ Settlement, and Hong Kong Children & Youth Services.
1st International Conference of LevelMind@JC: Community-based Youth Mental Health Service Development under the Global Framework for Youth Mental Health was successfully held on 22-23, 25-28 April 2022. There were over 3,000 of attendance throughout the 6-day programme, with wide-range participation from international speakers and attendees from Australia, United Kingdom, Chile, Singapore, Canada etc.
We had exchanged ideas among wide-ranging participants, including young people & world-renowned experts, on the global situation of youth mental wellness, revolutionizing services, the role of economics in policy development, online service & digitalisation, peer support, mental health in school & university, psychosocial interventions co-developed with young people, & many, many more exciting topics.
