Therefore, we actively disseminated the mental health service at schools to improve students’ mental wellness and strengthen their emotional management abilities. Meanwhile, we provided timely relief services to youths and promoted the importance of mental wellness, as well as strengthening the capital of community’s mental health. With the funding support of the Social Welfare Department and Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the Halfway Houses of the Society introduced some electronic equipment amid the epidemic that allowed residents to explore new technologies and improved the living environment of the houses. Young people are our future pillars, and they are also the driving force of improvement. Therefore, we have always focused on nurturing the development of underprivileged young people . Through career planning services, we hope that they will be able to make appropriate decisions and plans for a better future. Other than the “BEHub” project launched last year, in February this year we were honored to have received the funding from “Funding Scheme for Youth Entrepreneurship in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area” under Home Affairs Bureau and Youth Development Commission, to launch the project “Startup Generation”. This project is also one of the projects under “We Venture” which devoted to inspiring young people’s entrepreneurship spirit, cultivating their practical ability and nurturing their start-up ideas to help the participants enrich their self- values and develop their careers. In the future, we will continue to provide disadvantaged youth with various opportunities to learn about themselves and explore careers to create a prosperous future. Community Education and Volunteer Development Service have always been an important bridge between the Society and the community. Most of our activities went online amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and we also diverted our communication and interaction with our service users and the public to social media platforms. Foreseeing the trend to adopt the hybrid style, SRACP will speed up for digital transformation and integrate big data analysis, in order to expand its services more precisely and be well prepared for the development plan of a smart city.
