Funded by the Mental Health Initiatives Funding Scheme (Phase II) of the Health Bureau, our organization launched the " Growth Together – Supporting Service for Adolescent with SEN” " on May 1, 2023. The program aims to alleviate the mental distress and stress of youths with special educational needs, help them overcome the obstacles in their lives and studies, and assist them in integrating into the community.
The program involved social workers visiting different schools across Hong Kong to provide free psychological well-being and life skills training groups for youths with SEN. It also provides internship matching and guidance for interested youths to help them integrate into the workplace and promote a friendly and healthy workplace culture. The programme will run for two years from May 2023 to April 2025. Its goals are to enhance participants' psychological well-being and life skills, promote mental health; boost participants' self-confidence, self-determination, and critical thinking; facilitate contact and cooperation between youths with SEN and other groups, build trusting relationships, and create a more inclusive environment.
