Safeguarding healthy minds
**************************
Launched in August 2024, the Health Bureau's Healthy Mind Pilot Project has offered free initial mental health assessments at three District Health Centres and District Health Centre Expresses. As of February 2026, over 40 000 citizens have undergone assessments and those in need have been referred to non-governmental organisations for further evaluation and follow-ups.
A clinical psychologist and a well-being practitioner involved in the project spoke to News.gov.hk about the content and effectiveness of the project, while a participant shared his experience of receiving treatment.
The story is available at www.news.gov.hk/eng/feature from today (April 12) in text and video format.
