"In response to the government's "community-based” mental health support measures, New Life has been bringing mental health promotion activities into communities, conducting the "Healthy Mind Pilot Programme" at three district health facilities to offer free preliminary mental health assessments to individuals in need. This aligns with the government's vision of fostering a mentally health-friendly and harmonious society. I look forward to continuing our partnership with New Life, , advocating for the elimination of prejudice and discrimination while encouraging the public to adopt a positive attitude towards mental health prevention, support, care, and rehabilitation, particularly to those who may have taboos regarding mental health."
