JC Scholars gathered at the LevelMind@JC (賽馬會平行心間計劃) social hub in Chai Wan to take part in an Experiential Learning Programme, which guided them to explore and experience the importance of emotional wellness.  

JC Scholars received a briefing on understanding about emotions.  Under the guidance of youth workers from the LevelMind@JC team, they also engaged in relaxing arts and cultural activities to help them navigate their own emotions.  Towards the end of the programme, they were encouraged to become peer supporters, who have important qualities such as empathy, non-judgement, sincerity, and promoting equal conversation.

LevelMind@JC caters to specific needs of individual aged 12 to 24 through developing a stigma-free youth-specific and youth-friendly mental wellness service model.  It also aims to cultivate a new generation of youth workers to address the needs of the youth.  There are eight LevelMind@JC social hubs across various districts in Hong Kong.

The Experiential Learning Programme is a learning opportunity provided for JC Scholars to nurture them to become caring leaders in the future.

• The youth workers' sharing was compassionate and inspiring.

• I enjoyed the activity that I could share my daily life struggles while making coffee in a relaxing environment.

• Thank you for helping me realise that I should not be ashamed of my true self and feeling down.
