Raising dough to help spirits grow (Organised by: GSIS Wellbeing Ambassadors) Craving something sweet? The German Swiss International School Wellbeing Ambassadors prove that treats taste better when they’re for a good cause! By hosting school bake sales, these students turn flour and sugar into mental health awareness. Every pastry shared helps break the stigma. If they can bake a difference, so can you!
Keeping a beautiful light shining for others in need
(Organised by: Friends of Juliana) Juliana’s friends chose to turn their grief into a beautiful act of generosity. By fundraising in her name, they’re shining a light for others walking a similar path. All the contribution carries her spirit forward, transforming remembrance into real support and turning compassion into a journey of healing for the community.
Indie beats and healing treats: Raising funds through local sounds (Organised by: Water Witch) The indie band Water Witch from Lamma Island proves that music can heal more than hearts. Their music did more than just get people dancing - it conjured up vital funds for our community. Proof that you can cast your own kind of magic for mental health!
A fresh start and a clear mind - skipping the glass for a better cause. (Organised by: Slyvia) Sylvia rang in the New Year with more than resolutions - she took on the alcohol‑free challenge and turned it into a mission for mental health. By staying dry, she raised vital funds for Mind HK services. She skipped all the toasts and took a step toward stronger support in the community.
Double up your next year’s resolution!
Teens supporting teens: Pulling cello strings to spread the love (Organised by: JAWS) "This might be our last concert together before I head to the UK for my studies, and I want to dedicate it to the mental health cause," Jovia from JAWS told us. These talented teens held a 1-hour cello concert and invited their friends and family to join. They proved you're never too young to make an impact. Their beautiful harmonies didn't just fill the room - they helped fund a brighter future for other young people as well.
Giving up the gifts to give back to the community
(Organised by: Chelsea) Chelsea showed that celebrations can go beyond cake and candles. By encouraging her friends to donate to Mind HK instead of giving traditional birthday gifts, she turned a personal milestone into a collective act of care. Every contribution made in her honor supports mental health services and spreads the message that kindness is the best gift of all.

What is iACT Service?

Improving Access to Community Therapies (iACT®) is one of the services from Mind HK. Trained Wellbeing Practitioners will offer initial assessment and early intervention for people dealing with mild to moderate symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other emotional difficulties.

The service includes 6-8 sessions of low-intensity psychological support, the flexibility of the service allows individuals to receive free and timely support when needed.

If you’re aged between 18 – 65 and are facing some emotional challenges, we would like to invite you to take an online assessment for us to gain a better understanding of your current emotional struggles.

If you’re eligible, we’ll get you connected with a Wellbeing Practitioner within two weeks to sort out the next steps.

To ensure our services remain sustainable and accessible to all, we utilise a sliding scale fee model based on household income starting 1 June 2026. Sessions range from free of charge to HK$ 150 – HK$ 300, as detailed in the table below.
By contributing what you can, you directly support the longevity of our iACT services. These fees sustain Mind HK’s vital work, ensuring our support remains available for those who need it most. Furthermore, your contribution fuels our broader mission, including school-based programmes, mental health training, and essential awareness campaigns across the city.

Before having the conversation, we will ask you to fill out a basic questionnaire for preliminary screening assessment. This screening process aims to ensure that the training received by the Wellbeing Practitioners is sufficient to meet the needs of the individuals receiving the service. If it is determined after the screening assessment that the service is not suitable for you, Mind HK will provide alternative recommendations to ensure your safety and support.

For adults who are suitable for this service, all Wellbeing Practitioners have received training on how to identify and respond to safety and risk issues. If you have any concerns about the support process, the Wellbeing Practitioners have appropriate measures in place and will develop response plans based on the urgency of the situation. They can also access support from clinical practitioners from Mind HK or participating organisations.
