InspiringHK Sports Foundation & KELY Support Group & Mind Hong Kong

The programme devised together by InspiringHK Sports Foundation, KELY Support Group & Mind HK aims to provide Hong Kong’s youth with support to increase their regular physical activity while enhancing their awareness around mental health issues in their life. The aim of the programme is to leverage the various sports activities as a platform to introduce concepts of adopting a healthy mindset both physically and mentally. Programme participants are young people from various backgrounds between the ages of 13-24.

For the programme, InspiringHK Sports will be working in collaboration with KELY Support Group and Mind HK. As partners, they have developed the project design bringing together the strengths and aspects of each organisation – InspiringHK Sports bringing its network and experience in running community based sports programmes across Hong Kong, KELY Support Group bringing its experience in developing and implementing mental health training targeting youth across various groups in Hong Kong and Mind HK bringing the knowledge and network of clinical advisors and international best practices to Hong Kong. In this pilot programme, they have designed a 3-tiered approach to enhancing young people’s awareness around mental health issues in their life and to leverage various sports as a platform to introduce concepts of adopting a healthy mindset both physically and mentally. The programme participants are young people from various backgrounds between the ages of 13-24. The 3-tier approach consists of: 1.) Tier One - School based Youth Mental Health training. 70-hour (40-session) school-based youth sports programme with intentional mental health training at the start and ending of the programme 2.) Tier Two - Community Sports Youth Mental Health training. Including a 1.5-hour mental health training as part of the other existing community sports programmes implemented by InspiringHK Sports. 3.)
