Nurturing Well-being: Highlights of the RPg Wellness Initiative 2024/25
The Graduate School launched the Future-Ready Series: Research Postgraduate Wellness Initiative to promote the holistic well-being of students. This year, the theme of our Wellness Initiative is ‘Breathe 心呼吸’. We are here to help students find ways to alleviate stress, build a supportive RPg community, and tackle challenges together. Special memo pads have been prepared for all RPg students to help support their academic journey. We hope to remind students of the importance of prioritising well-being alongside academic pursuits.
Meet our Research Postgraduate Wellness Ambassadors
The Wellness Ambassador Programme builds on the idea of peer-to-peer support. Working with our partnering units, focused training is provided to our Wellness Ambassadors, including the Mental Health First Aid Course offered by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention (CSRP), communication skills workshops coordinated by CEDARS, and mindfulness facilitator training delivered by JC PandA. We have a dynamic team of 80 students from across disciplines who are ready to listen, support, and help you make new connections. Say hello to our 2024/25 RPg Wellness Ambassadors and start a friendly chat now!
Congratulations to our Wellness Ambassadors on successfully completing the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Course in November 2024!
Join our Monthly Wellness Activities and Connect with Peers
Wellness activities are organised on a monthly basis to provide RPg students with opportunities to connect and unwind. The November seashell painting workshop was filled with laughter as students explored the link between creativity and stress management. In December, students experienced the healing power of nature through a forest bathing walk at Lung Fu Shan.
