Service Projects

The sudden emergence of critical events may not only cause casualties, but also psychological trauma. The Mental Health and Psychosocial Support of the HKRC and over 200 psychological first aid volunteers are committed to provide timely psychological first aid services to people affected by critical events with an aim of reducing the initial emotions and distress and providing the public with psychological education.

“Shall We Talk” Psychological Support Service provides individual counselling services to reduce the emotional distress and sufferings of vulnerable people and carers, who are affected by disasters or emergencies, and to foster their adaptive functioning and coping.

The Mental Health and Psychosocial Support of the HKRC are handled by Psychologists and trained volunteers. Through “look”, “listen”, and “link”, we provide psychoeducation to stabilise the emotions and increase the sense of security of those affected. Psychological First Aid can also provide practical tips to relieve emotional distress after a critical incident. Where appropriate, Psychological First Aiders will refer those affected to other service providers in the community when needed.
