Mental Health Month (MHM@HKU) October 2024

Mental Health Month (MHM@HKU) October 2024

Mental Health Month Banner

10th October marks World Mental Health Day, and this year, HKU has a range of initiatives planned over the month. Please review the options below and select those that interest you.

Mental Health Month 1+2+3

Within the October month, you are invited to…

  • Treat yourself to one special indulgence —a nice meal, a small gift, or well-deserved "Me Time!" (愛錫自己)— to celebrate the good work you've accomplished in the first semester, no matter how big or small.
  • Spend two hours in nature, preferably with friends, and please turn off your Wi-Fi data.
  • Reach out to three people you can think of by texting them or calling them to say hi or express your gratitude.
