Overview
Following the successful "We Travel in Light" exhibition, local mental health charity Mind HK continues its anti-stigma initiative, "More Than a Label," with a brand new community event series: "Weekend Mental Health Story Sharing: Let's Shed the Labels!" Starting from July 4th, for six consecutive Saturdays, the public is invited to step into unique urban spaces across Hong Kong. These sessions offer a safe environment to listen to real stories from mental health ambassadors—individuals who have lived experience with mental health challenges—fostering deeper community connection and awareness.
Highlights
More than just a sharing session, this series is a journey of human connection and resilience. Each event explores a specific topic, grounded in the personal experiences of the ambassadors:
- Diverse Themes: Topics range from parental mental health, challenges faced by new mothers, youth career paths, and the intersection of creative arts with mental health, to men's mental health and the link between diet and wellbeing.
- Sincere Dialogue: Designed to be intimate and casual, participants can enjoy a coffee while listening to authentic, lived stories, shifting the conversation away from clinical settings to personal, humanized experiences.
- Breaking Stigma: Featuring insights from over 200 trained Mind HK ambassadors, the series aims to dismantle deeply rooted societal biases, proving that everyone is more than just a label.
