SUMMARY:[Manulife x Mind HK] Your Mental Health Matters: Express to Destress
DESCRIPTION:As we grow older and navigate the weight of societal norms and expectations\, many of us tend to suppress our emotions\, especially the negative ones. It is crucial to remember that there is no right or wrong way to feel. Expressing our emotions is essential not only for understanding our own feelings but also for helping others comprehend what we are going through. By embracing and managing our emotions\, we can channel that emotional energy into personal strength. \n  \nIn our daily lives\, there are plenty of ways to release and process our feelings\, such as through art and music. Even if you cannot find the right words\, you can still express your current state of mind in a safe and non-judgmental space. This is true for singer-songwriter Wilson Ng as well. Transitioning from a social worker to pursuing music full-time\, he faced work-related stress\, exhausted all his savings\, and encountered numerous hardships. He even battled emotional distress that eventually required him to take a step back and rest. \n  \nLater\, he adjusted his pace and looked to songwriting for nourishment. Rather than worrying about success or others’ expectations\, he chose to be true to himself. Although he is not comfortable with showing his vulnerable side\, reflecting on his original intentions for making music and pouring his heart into what he loves brought him pure joy and inner fulfilment\, leaving no room for fear or overthinking. \n  \nThis summer\, we warmly invite you to explore different ways of easing emotional distress and explore how expressive arts can support emotional expression and self-discovery. Besides\, we will have Vera Lui \, a gender equality and women’s advocate\, and local illustrator Chewbbies\, who will share how art and illustration can serve as media for uncovering our inner voices. Additionally\, we have invited VOOA to host two “My Lyric Picture” Expressive Arts Workshop\, guiding you to explore your inner self through visual art and music. We believe everyone can find their own way to express their emotions and be at peace with themselves! \n  \nYour Mental Health Matters: Express to Destress (Sharing Section)\nDate: 22 August\, Saturday\nTime: 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm\nVenue: Multi-function Hall I\, 25/F\, The HKFYG Building\nFeatured Speakers: \n\nWilson Ng\, Singer-songwriter\nVera Lui\, Gender Equality & Women’s Advocate\nChewbbies\, Local illustration brand\nDawn\, Expressive Arts Therapist\n\nLanguage: Cantonese\nRegistration: https://your-mental-health-matters-August22event.eventbrite.hk\n*Free of charge; pre-registration required; first-come\, first-served \n  \n“My Lyric Picture” Expressive Arts Workshop by VOOA\nTime: 3:30 pm – 4:45 pm\nVenue: Meeting Room\, 10/F\, The HKFYG Building\nCapacity: 90 ppl\nLanguage: Cantonese\nPrice: Free of charge (Each participant is required to pay a deposit of HK$ 80\, which will be refunded after attending the workshop\, or you may choose to donate the deposit to Mind HK to support mental health services.)\nRegistration: https://your-mental-health-matters-August22event.eventbrite.hk \n  \nFor more information: event@mind.org.hk
