Hong Kong has seen an increase in the demand for mental health care, given COVID-19 and the subsequent social and economic impact.
In a survey conducted by Mind HK, 43% of people reported that their mental health had worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic, and almost half of respondents (49%) reported feeling lonely. In addition, 21% of those with personal experience of mental health concerns reporting that they had difficulty in accessing mental health support or treatment.
To support those most in need and affected by COVID-19, Mind HK has launched three mental health initiatives with the support of Goldman Sachs' Gives for Hong Kong.
