Thanks to Mind HK and Mindset for creating an opportunity for Mind HK ambassadors to share our stories and photography at the ‘Here and Now’ exhibition at the 3812 Gallery in August! The exhibition connected our mental health recovery stories to our photographs of places in Hong Kong that inspired a turning point.

The event was a collaboration with lovely local artist Erin Hung (pictured below) whose collection of bold posters were inspired by our stories and highlight of the event! Look out for Erin’s posters on the MTR! Better still, take a snap and tag #MindHongKong and #MTAL (More Than A Label) on Insta to spread positive messages about mental health in Hong Kong! 🙏🏼

Thanks soooooo much to Mind HK’s Vicki T’Sang for making and sending me this reel of exhibition goers viewing my contribution to the exhibition! 🫶🏼 To read what they’re reading, click here!

Brace yourselves for another “slightly strange” (yeah… thanks Noreen 🤣) episode of my Mental Ideas podcast on RTHK‘s 123 Show! This week my guest is the inspirational Christina Yung! She banks. She cares for her Mum. She writes books and takes magical photographs of Hong Kong old shops. She’s in tears twice during the interview and has the most infectious raucous laugh I’ve ever had the pleasure of developing tinnitus from!

Bit of an emotional rollercoaster this week as we discuss dementia and impact on mental health of the Hong Kong Protests among other topics.

On next week’s episode of Mental Ideas veterans Mat Ricardo and Dan Davies return and recount their most memorable experiences with internet trolls in Trolls Anonymous. Only Dan has another word for them – and he uses it a lot…

Catch me LIVE on RTHK Radio 3 in about… oooh… TWO HOURS!!!
