Know more about us
Coolminds is a joint initiative between Mind HK and KELY Support Group, and promotes mental health awareness, support and understanding in Hong Kong’s youth.
By bringing international best practice to Hong Kong for high school and university students alike, Coolminds aims to provide comprehensive programmes for the prevention, early intervention and management of youth mental health.
Our mission is to educate and empower young people to look after themselves and those around them.
Research has shown that cultivating resilience and coping skills in childhood and adolescence will benefit their social development, wellbeing and overall quality of life as adults.
Our collaborations with various international youth mental health charities allow us to bring resources on a variety of mental health topics to Hong Kong, as well as establishing knowledge transfers and organising international speaker events.
Through our work, and by encouraging students to write in to us with personal stories of hope and recovery, we aim to spark conversations and create change in the way mental health is viewed, understood and talked about here in Hong Kong and beyond.
youth on recognizing emotions and working with their feelings
a whole-school approach to student mental health
teachers, parents and students access to high quality mental health information and support
students, parents, teachers and educators to recognise the signs of mental health problems in young people and to offer help
We are continuously searching for opportunities to host workshops and events targeted towards education professionals, parents and students. We want to encourage a whole-school approach to identifying and supporting students with mental health challenges and promoting sustainable systems in schools.
We collaborate closely with international charities and foundations to share and bring best practice, knowledge, training and information to Hong Kong.
We have already hosted speakers from several established international youth mental health NGOs to give talks at various international schools during our initial pilot, and Coolminds will continue to bring the field’s most prominent leaders to Hong Kong.
