Residences For The Mentally Ill Hong Kong Near Me

4worldlovers:
"I have been employed!” Ah-Sai made a great leap from being a habitual absentee from work without reasons and the one who changed work frequently to winning the recognition and being employed as a programme assistant by one of our Integrated Work Centers.


Ah-Sai has been undergoing treatment for his mood disorder and self-harming behavior since 2003. Because of conflicts of all kind day in and day out, his family relationship ran into deadlock. During the initial stage when Ah-Sai was residing in our halfway house, he spoiled everything including the House’s facilities, the harmonious relationship among the residents and even the serenity in there. But after having received rehabilitative training in the halfway house, he gradually learned to manage his emotion, and relationship with other residents was thus improved. He even took the initiative to take home leave so as to take care of his family members when they were sick, an act which moved his family so much that they came to appreciate the changes he had.

Ah-Sai was talented in music. He played a key role in the House’s band team. He has been invited many times to perform in major events, which were all well received by the audience.

The future has some new challenges in store for Ah-Sai – both at work and in an independent living. But he is ready to face it upfront and determined to overcome it, just as what he had been doing all along the way.
