The Mind Ambassador Programme (MAP) is founded by a group of 4 HSBC Scholars with a shared background in medical research supported by the Hub for the Future. The inaugural MAP aims to build capacity among young leaders to become mental health advocates and design wellness activities for their peers.
The annual theme of the inaugural MAP is ‘Youth Mental Health in the Post-COVID-19 Era’. Over the past two years in Hong Kong, schools have been shut down with classes moved online. This has created huge hindrances not only to youth education, but also to students’ mental well-being. It is therefore critical to put extensive efforts into the improvement of youth mental health in the post-COVID-19 era.
