香港心聆與思健一起組織了一個真人圖書館形式的分享會！ Mind HK in partnership with MINDSET are organising this event to showcase a human library-style sharing! Register now.

與我們及心聆大使們一起參與一個真人圖書館形式的分享會！我們的大使將在這個真人圖書館裡分享他們關於焦慮症、抑鬱症、產後抑鬱症、職業倦怠及藥物濫用的個人經歷，讓我們更了解他們的復元之路。

真人圖書館是一項面對面的活動，讓你可以「借閱」一本真人「書」，並就當中的精神健康復元經歷進行簡短的交流與討論。

Join us and our ambassadors for a human library-style sharing! Our ambassadors will share their individual stories of anxiety, depression, postpartum psychosis, burnout, and substance misuse in this human library event where we can learn about their road to recovery.

A human library is an in-person event where you can “check out” a human “book” for a brief conversation and discussion about their mental health recovery experience. We welcome attendees to learn about various mental health diagnoses in a small group setting to further their understanding of mental health in Hong Kong.

活動名額有限且需要登記。所有收入都將用於反污名化計劃及支援消除精神健康污名化方面做的努力。Registration for this event is required and limited. All proceeds will go back towards the anti-stigma programme and its effort in destigmatising mental health.

Tiffy是一名全球公民。 她曾在香港、泰國、英國和澳洲生活過，一直對學習新文化和與人交往感興趣，甚至透過人類學學位研究人類的本質。自從一次不幸的運動事故中身心復元後，她將對人的熱情化為行動，以大使的身份支持香港心聆。

Tiffy is a global citizen. Having lived in Hong Kong, Thailand, UK and Australia, she has always been interested in learning about new cultures, connecting with people, and even studying about what makes us human through her Anthropology degree.

Suryati (心聆大使 Mind HK Ambassador)

我是來自印尼的海外華人，目前在一所海外銀行工作。我在三個城市居住過：臺北、上海和香港。居住在臺北和上海迫使我學習普通話。由於我的外貌，人們並不想以英語和我說話。我的興趣常常因我的情緒和情況改變，但有三件事情從不改變，那就是睡覺、閱讀和跟貓咪玩耍。

Currently, I work in a foreign bank. I’m an overseas Chinese who comes from Indonesia. I have lived in 3 different cities: Taipei, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Living in Taipei and Shanghai forced me to learn the language: Mandarin. Because of my face, people there did not want to talk English with me. My hobbies change from time to time depending on the mood and the situation, however there are 3 that never changed, i.e.: sleeping; reading and playing with the cats.

「More Than a Label 我就是我」是 Mind HK 與香港思健合作策劃的全新計劃，計劃源於我們希望改變大眾對精神疾病患者的觀感。由怡和集團贊助，此計劃透過邀請復元人士分享他們的精神健康復元故事，來展示他們最真實的一面、描繪最真實的自己，藉此鼓勵大眾擺脫對精神疾病的固有觀念、污名及標籤。

我們希望透過這個計劃來提升大眾對精神疾病及其污名的認知，並為復元人士充權。我們深信這次計劃能鼓勵社會大眾展開更多有關精神健康的對話，協助消除有關精神健康的污名。

“More than a Label 我就是我” is Mind HK campaign in partnership with MINDSET, which stems from their goal of changing and influencing the public’s perception towards persons with diagnosable mental health conditions. Funded by Jardines Matheson, this campaign encourages the public to look beyond the typical, stigmatising, labels associated with mental health diagnoses. Through personal stories of mental health journeys, we showcase realistic portrayals of people who have faced mental health problems are in recovery to ignite hope in others and encourage help-seeking.

With this campaign, we hope to raise awareness of the stigma towards mental health conditions, celebrate the resilience and strength of people in recovery, and educate and equip the public with mental health knowledge. We believe this will encourage more conversation in mental health, which will in turn help destigmatise mental health in Hong Kong.
