《More Than a Label》:正視精神疾病




《我就是我:平凡人的不平凡心路歷程》是 Mind HK 的新書,希望改變大眾對經歷精神健康困擾人士的觀感。這本書希望鼓勵大眾跳出對精神疾病診斷的固有觀念與標籤 。本書收集了一系列不同人的精神健康故事分享,透過故事與照片來描繪他們最真實的自己、復原的旅程,最完整的身分。本地精神健康慈善機構 Mind HK 冀望透過這本書喚起社會關注有關精神健康困擾的污名問題、欣賞經歷精神健康困擾的人的努力和堅持,以及向大眾傳遞精神健康資訊,支援自己和身邊有需要的人。 今天的活動中,Mind HK的Ophelia Tam主持了三位Mind HK大使Jonathan、 Xanthe 和Hilary 之間的對話,他們在對話中分享了自己的故事和心路歷程。 Mind HK是一家註冊的S88慈善機構(91/16471),致力於提高香港人對心理健康的認識和理解。他們與其他本地和國際心理健康慈善機構合作,並根據全球最佳的做法,提供在線支援和培訓計劃,以增強任何遇到心理健康問題的人的心理質素,為他們提供所需資源。透過合作研究, Mind HK對於心理健康問題的理解領先全城,為市民提供合適的支援和資源。
