The Convenor of Positive Education Laboratory, Professor Sylvia KWOK LAI Yuk-ching, leads a research project on mental health of children and youth. The objective of the project is to identify protective factors which can prevent youth from mental health problems and the risk factors which will increase the mental health crisis among youth. It also aims at empowering youngsters by formulating a set of strategies and tools which are user-centric, so as to prevent and intervene psychological health issues. The project is in collaboration with the Faculty of Social Work of the University of Calgary, Canada. A sharing forum was held at CityU on 14 October 2023, with around 32 students from 4 local secondary schools, 48 teachers, principals, social workers, counsellors, district board members, parents and doctors attending the forum.
