As part of its ongoing campaign to combat mental health stigma, Mind HK will be holding a mental health story night at the Jockey Club Studio Theatre inside the Fringe Club on 8 August.
The night will start with a brief networking event for participants to get to know each other, followed by a mental health story sharing by Mind HK ambassadors Claud, Kristeen, and Demi, all of whom are survivors of a myriad of mental issues. They hope that by sharing their experiences, they can provide comfort and hope to those who have gone through, or are currently going through similar problems, as well as shed light on unique mental health journeys, especially in a city that can be hush-hush about all things mental issues-related.
The event will end in a discussion, where participants can react to the ambassadors’ perspectives, and even share their own experiences. The story night has no entry fee, but you must register here. Donations are welcome, and all proceeds will support Mind HK’s anti-stigma work. For more information, click here.
