Overview

The University of Hong Kong's vision in this Mental Health programme is to groom the next generation of leaders in mental health care to join hands in facing this challenge.

By bringing together local and international experts into the classrooms, including experts by experience, we envisage to co-develop ideas with real-world impacts that range from specific intervention approaches to service systems and policy, from young to older populations, and from clinical to theoretical understanding. I hope you would, like me, find this journey rewarding and fulfilling.
