After the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing measures, the public concern over the mental health issues of the youth or the elderly in Hong Kong has been heightened. Yet, as for mental health needs of working adults, its public concern is less acute. They more rely on the provision from the private sector. To gain a deeper understanding of the working adult mental health issue and their implications for future service development in the sector, The HKCSS publishes “Mental Health: Adult Physical and Mental Wellbeing Series”. This publication synthesizes research conducted by various social stakeholders, integrating their perspectives on the mental health status of Hong Kong’s working population.
Issue four of “Mental Health: Adult Physical and Mental Wellbeing Series” would be focusing on “Review for Research on the Mental Health of Working Adult from the Perspective of Academic Institution (Two)” (see appendix). In continuation of the issue three, this issue will introduce the key findings from the studies, including the mental health profiles of different occupational groups, primary sources of psychological stress, and patterns of help-seeking behavior would be discussed. It is aimed to offer an overview on the current state of mental health of working adults in Hong Kong from the perspective of academic institution. At last, we have synthesized several key observations.
