[ENG] Discovering Yourself through Mindfulness
2024-10-16
“Inner Child“ is a concept commonly used in popular psychology, which originated from the book “The Psychology of the Child Archetype” by Carl Jung in the 1940s. Inner Child that represents the part of us holding memories and feelings from childhood. It can be playful and curious, but may also carry emotional pain or unresolved trauma.

Everyone’s upbringing is different and can profoundly affect the psychological well-being and character formation of both the Inner Child and the individual. By healing the Inner Child through parenting, we can change behavioural patterns dealing with emotions, trauma and relationships. Engaging a dialogue with the Inner Child helps us to understand our emotional needs, facilitate personal growth and improve mental health. This October, join us and take the first step to pause, reflect and delve into your inner world. Through mindfulness, you’ll develop the ability to observe your thoughts and emotions with compassion, uncovering underlying patterns from past experiences. By cultivating this awareness, you’ll gain valuable insights and begin the journey to healing and embracing your true self

We welcome any adult to join the online experiential workshop led by renowned mindfulness expert Prof. Susan Bögels:

[ENG] Driving Changes For Workplace Mental Health
2024-10-16
Ignoring mental health at work silently chips away your team’s potential. Not only does it lower productivity, it also damages relationships, weakens teamwork (APA, 2022) and could be costing your organisation far more than you realise…BILLIONS (CMHA, 2019)!

According to recent research, 77% of employees in Hong Kong have experienced at least ONE work-related mental health issue, with 82% considering disengagement as a coping mechanism. Nearly 63% stressed the urgent need for better health benefits and initiatives (AXA, 2024). Imagine the drastic improvement in our work environment and performance if we enhance mental health support! Prioritising mental health is not solely a personal matter; it is a business necessity! Are you ready to transform your workplace into a thriving mental-health friendly environment?

The theme of World Mental Health Day 2024 is ‘It is Time to Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace’. Join our free Workplace Mental Health Webinar on 16th October to discover practical steps to cultivate mental wellbeing in your workplace. Let’s reshape workplace culture and start winning–together!

The webinar is free of charge and we welcome all interested individuals to join!
