Breakthrough Hurdles and Meet the Latest Trend by Proactively Developing Online and Offline Financial Education Services to Enhance Penetration and Impact

Financial Education Centre has adjusted, enriched and expanded the applicability of the Financial Social Work Certificate Course through years of experience. With the publication of Financial Social Work Casebook and Training Kits, we have been committed to providing professional training for all social welfare workers. The Centre has also developed innovative online and offline financial “edutainment” tools, including Board Game Design Competition, e$mart Digital Finance Education Project and e-Run – City Hunt to promote financial education and nurture an appropriate financial concept among the general public via internet, daily life activities and a variety of projects.

Support the Physical and Mental Wellbeing of Women Carers and Consolidate Experience in Multi-generation Family Education Services

Since its establishment 15 years ago, Women and Family Enhancement Centre has been raising community awareness and concern towards women as carer while providing services to strengthen women’s physical and mental health and extending their support network. We have continued the “Care me, care free” Mental Health Enhancement and Wellness Project for Women funded by Sir Robert Ho Tung Charitable Fund. Collaboration has been made with the Lee Kum Kee Family Foundation, The University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Shue Yan University to complete the second phase of “Education and Support Project for Multi-generational Families” and the research report is in progress. Experience and findings will be incorporated into a resources kit to share with the industry and the public and to promote multi-generational families education services in the third phase.

Assist Employees and Their Families in Coping with Challenges Posed by the Pandemic through Employee Assistance Programme

Under the pandemic, Wellness Programme continued to provide counselling, training and crisis intervention services for public and private sectors and education organisations; mental health support and resources were provided especially to employees who were critically affected by the pandemic. Meanwhile, we continued to promote family wellbeing and work-life balance through corporate Work-Life Balance Week and different online wellness workshops, such as “From COVID to Comfort”, “Cook Healthier@home”, “COVID-19 from Chinese Medicine Perspective”, “Acupuncture for employees” and “Laughter Yoga Workshop”. In terms of professional training, we have invited Dr. Liu Ting, an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) trainer, to deliver the Certificate in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy Training webinar to nearly 100 helping professionals.
