New Life Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association
We strive for equal opportunities and full participation of people with mental illness with the ultimate goal of their full integration and acceptance in the community.
 A Brief Introduction to the Service

Provide long-term accommodation services that have a relatively higher degree of independence for people with mental illness

Provide individual counseling and supportive services
Equip residents with self-care skills and basic community living abilities
 



In an attempt to meet the diversified residential needs of people with mental illness, we established our first self-financed supported hostel - Jockey Club New Life Hostel in 1998 to supply accommodations at an affordable price. Situated at Kennedy Road, the Hostel is a three-storey building with single and double rooms that can accommodate altogether 24 residents. Residents are required to have self-care ability, stable employment or training engagement in order to be admitted to the Hostel. Hostel wardens and care workers will provide counseling services, living and social skills training to enhance residents’ overall independent living ability.

Yuet Wo House at Tuen Mun commenced operation since July 2005, providing another long-term housing option for people discharged from Halfway Houses. This enabled them to receive care and support on a consistent basis. The Hostel is a three-storey building with single rooms which can accommodate 15 residents.

Another self-financed hostel - Yi Yuet Hin offers residential services to those who have already received basic community living skills training at Tuen Mun Long Stay Care Home but who are not yet able to live independently. The Hostel has commenced operation since September 2005. It provides support and care of medium to low level for residents. Consisting of 3 blocks of two-storey building located in Greenery Villa, Tuen Mun, the Hostel provides 17 rooms, including single, double and three-person rooms to accommodate 29 residents.
