HKSYU Alumni Book Launch: In the Blink of a Thought

2025-07-22

We’re proud to celebrate the achievements of five alumni from the Master in Counselling Psychology programme—Helen Sin-hang Kwok, Isaac C.Y. Yu, Shirley Wong (2012), Louis Huang (2015), and Jasmin, T Fong (2017)—who launched their new book today (July 21) at the Hong Kong Book Fair 2025.
Helen Kwok and Isaac Yu, both Assistant Directors at the Mrs Dorothy Koo and Dr Ti Hua Koo Centre for Interdisciplinary Evidence-based Practice and Research (CIEBPR) and part-time lecturers at HKSYU, expressed their joy in collaborating with fellow alumni on this meaningful project.
Their book, In the Blink of a Thought, presents ten adapted stories on the often-unseen struggles of self-harm and suicide. It serves as a powerful reminder that compassionate listening can be the first step toward healing—and a path back to hope.
