Whether it is stress from school, work pressure or tensions in the family, we modern-day citizens carry a lot of weight on our shoulders. When left unattended, it can take a heavy toll on our emotional and mental health.

To raise awareness of the importance of mental well-being and reduce stigma around mental illness among local youth, the Mental Health Association of Hong Kong (MHAHK) organises an annual inter-school quiz competition for secondary students. Entering its eighth edition this year, the competition is divided into preliminaries, semi-finals and finals, all of which will take place on 23 November 2019 (Saturday), from 9am to 1pm at the Multi-purpose Hall of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University West Kowloon Campus. Each school can only form one team, consisting of not less than four students. Trophies and cash coupons worth up to HK$3,200 will be awarded to the winners.

In addition, a briefing session and a visit to a mental health service unit will be organised on 19 October 2019 (Saturday), from 9:30am to 1pm at the MHAHK Building, 2 Kung Lok Rd, Ngau Tau Kok.

Submit your application on or before 11 October 2019 (Friday) to enter the competition. Places are available on a first-come, first-served basis. For enquiries, please contact Ms Au at 2528 4656 or dce@mhahk.org.hk.
