ABOUT NEW LIFE

History

The New Life Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association was formed in 1959 by a group of people in recovery of mental illness under the name New Life Mutual Aid Club. The organization was formally registered with the authorities in 1961 and re-organized in 1965 under its current title.

The Association was incorporated under the Companies Ordinance Act in 1969. It joined the World Federation for Mental Health in 1969, becoming a member of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service in the same year, and became a member of the Community Chest of Hong Kong in 1970.
