HONG KONG, May 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Manulife Hong Kong today announced a two-year strategic partnership with Mind HK, a Hong Kong-based mental health charity, to raise public awareness of the importance of mental health and to influence the development of mental health support services in Hong Kong. This partnership will help advance one of Manulife's Impact Agenda commitments to empower sustained health and well-being.

香港，2024年5月23日 /PRNewswire/ — 宏利香港今天宣佈與總部位於香港的心理健康慈善機構Mind HK建立爲期兩年的戰略合作伙伴關係，以提高公衆對心理健康重要性的認識，並影響香港心理健康支持服務的發展。這種夥伴關係將有助於推進宏利影響力議程的一項承諾，以增強持續的健康和福祉。在合作過程中，這兩個組織將共同組織一系列宣傳活動、反污名化計劃和持續的專業培訓計劃，旨在倡導改善當地社區的心理健康支持。
Mental health conditions can arise from various common environmental, social, and personal stressors, such as stressful life events, illnesses, and financial difficulties.[1] It is estimated that one in seven people in Hong Kong will experience a common mental disorder at any given time [2], yet three-quarters of those affected will not seek professional help[1]. Through this partnership, Manulife and Mind HK will collaborate to develop a series of programs designed to tackle the high prevalence of mental health issues in society.
心理健康狀況可能源於各種常見的環境、社會和個人壓力，例如緊張的生活事件、疾病和經濟困難。[1] 據估計，香港每七個人中就有一人會在任何時候出現常見的精神障礙[2]，但四分之三的受影響者不會尋求專業幫助[1]。通過這種夥伴關係，宏利和Mind HK將合作制定一系列計劃，旨在解決社會中高度流行的心理健康問題。
"Manulife and Mind HK share a vision to advocate for the importance of mental health and reducing unnecessary stereotypes in the city. Collaborating with Mind HK allows us to increase awareness of mental health and improve accessibility to mental health support within the community. Our commitment to the city and its people goes beyond financial well-being; we also place significant emphasis on promoting their mental and physical wellness, thereby bringing our 'body-mind-wealth' customer proposition to life. By leveraging Mind HK's expertise and networks, we hope to change public perceptions towards mental health and foster a more inclusive society in Hong Kong," said Patrick Graham, Chief Executive Officer of Manulife Hong Kong and Macau.
“宏利和Mind HK的共同願景是倡導心理健康的重要性，減少城市中不必要的陳規定型觀念。與Mind HK合作使我們能夠提高對心理健康的認識，並改善社區內獲得心理健康支持的機會。我們對城市及其人民的承諾不僅限於財務福祉；我們還非常重視促進他們的身心健康，從而將我們的 “身心財富” 客戶主張變爲現實。通過利用Mind HK的專業知識和網絡，我們希望改變公衆對心理健康的看法，並在香港培育一個更具包容性的社會。” 宏利香港及澳門首席執行官帕特里克·格雷厄姆。
"This strategic partnership between Mind HK and Manulife Hong Kong is a milestone for Mind HK. It will allow us to expand and strengthen our service network to help more people in need of mental health support and also boost public awareness to improve mental health literacy levels and reduce the stigma around mental health. We look forward to joining hands with our like-minded partner to work towards our vision of ensuring no one in Hong Kong has to face a mental health problem alone," said Dr. Candice Powell, CEO of Mind HK.
“Mind HK和宏利香港之間的這種戰略合作伙伴關係對Mind HK來說是一個里程碑。這將使我們能夠擴大和加強我們的服務網絡，以幫助更多需要心理健康支持的人，並提高公衆意識，以提高心理健康素養水平，減少對心理健康的污名。我們期待與志同道合的合作伙伴攜手合作，共同實現我們的願景，即確保香港沒有人必須獨自面對心理健康問題。” Mind HK首席執行官坎迪絲·鮑威爾博士。
