Community Support Services

Companion．Care．Connect

We pioneered the first Integrated Community Centre for Mental Wellness, The Wellness Centre (TWC) in Tin Shui Wai in 2009. From October 2010 onwards, service points extended to Sham Shui Po, Yau Tsim Mong, Sha Tin, Kwai Chung, Tuen Mun and Islands Districts.

In 2019, we commenced the operation of "New LIFEstyle”, Mobile Vans for Publicity Service on Mental Wellness (MVP).  Two mobile vans, namely "Enjoy 330” and "Share 330”, are set up to promote mental health in New Territories (East) and New Territories (West) since July 2019 and August 2019 respectively.

 

Our Aims

• Providing one-stop, comprehensive and recovery-oriented community support services to local residents, assistance and follow-up services for people with suspected mental health problems as well as support for people in recovery of mental illness, their families and carers;
• Initiating mental health education in promoting public’s positive help-seeking attitude and early detection of mental health needs, as well as facilitating social inclusion, harmony and well-being in neighborhood.
  

Milestone

Integrated Community Centres for Mental Wellness have been set up in 18 districts in Hong Kong. The Wellness Centre (Tin Shui Wai), which commenced service in March 2009, was the first centre operated by the Association. The other centres operated by the Association were opened in October 2010 for the residents of Sham Shui Po, Yau Tsim Mong, Shatin, Kwai Chung, Tuen Mun and Islands Districts.
