Volunteers doing artwork together with the recipients

University YMCA – HKUST organized three workshops for ex-mentally ill persons which aimed at encouraging them to step out of their comfort zones and adapt to society while giving the public a positive image of the ex-mentally ill persons. During the three workshops, volunteers played some interactive games, made some beautiful handicrafts and organised a funfair with them.

Description

精神病成因有先天、後天。後天因素基於環境而更易受我們掌控。給身邊人多一分關注少一分抵制。令弱勢人士不被孤立是我們都能做到的事。So, talk to the weirdo.
