2026-11-13
 

A two-day international conference entitled “Mental Well-Being for All: The Conference on Strength-Based and Preventive Interventions in Hong Kong and Chinese Communities”, co-organised by Hong Kong Shue Yan University (HKSYU) and the Division of Counselling Psychology of the Hong Kong Psychological Society, opened on 6 November 2026. The conference attracted more than 100 participants from around the world, including psychologists, counselling and mental health professionals, researchers, and students.

 

Opening remarks were delivered by Professor Catherine Sun Tien-lun, HKSYU Senior Vice President and Honorary Chair of the Conference, and Dr Amos Cheung, President of the Hong Kong Psychological Society.

 

Professor Sun emphasised that psychological knowledge does not exist independently of culture. She noted the importance of examining how psychological theories and practices can be made culturally meaningful and relevant, and how local research can better inform professional practice. She expressed hope that the conference would provide a platform for dialogue across disciplines and professions, challenge established assumptions, and generate new possibilities for prevention, intervention, and community engagement.
