Hong Kong Christian Service

The Hong Kong Christian Service (HKCS) is a social welfare organization actively involved in understanding and addressing contemporary youth issues in Hong Kong. Recent news highlights their efforts through surveys that shed light on critical challenges faced by young people. Specifically, HKCS conducted a poll of 572 individuals aged 11-24, revealing that Generation Z often underestimates social media's negative impact on mental health, with frequent users reporting higher levels of loneliness. Furthermore, a separate survey of 1,958 secondary students (aged 11-19) identified that one in twelve are socially disengaged on campus. These findings underscore HKCS's current relevance in identifying vulnerable student populations and advocating for early intervention and support to prevent issues like school dropout. Their research provides valuable data for understanding the mental well-being and social integration of Hong Kong's youth.
