mental health support

Recent events in Hong Kong have highlighted an urgent need to broaden mental health support, particularly for young people. A government adviser has called for expanding services beyond high-risk cases, noting that even children without apparent distress are experiencing severe mental health crises, potentially exacerbated by social media's influence. This call comes in the wake of tragic incidents, including the suspected suicides of a mother and daughter, which have been linked to academic pressure. Education leaders are emphasizing the necessity of enhanced mental health support for both students and families. The growing awareness of these issues underscores the critical relevance of accessible and comprehensive mental health resources to address the complex pressures faced by Hong Kong's youth and families.
