According to the findings of a study launched earlier in 2024 i, almost 30% of South Asian or Southeast Asian were at “high-risk” of developing a mental health disorder such as depression, anxiety or insomnia. Mental health remains a taboo topic in the ethnic minority communities, and many do not feel comfortable to open up and seek help. Frontline workers of health and social services play an important role to identify individuals with potential mental health needs and encourage them to seek professional help. To assist frontline workers in engaging ethnic minorities on their mental health needs, in partnership with The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS), The Zubin Foundation is organizing a training workshop to share its experience and practical tips on supporting the mental health of ethnic minorities. Social workers and other frontline workers from ICCMW, IFSC, DHC and other NGOs and any interested individuals are welcome to  attend the workshop.

In order to get the practitioners of the sector informed of the Council’s latest research findings and recommendations, the Council has endeavored to publish Research Brief from time to time. A new Research Brief has just been published, introducing the "Research on Expenditure Patterns of Grassroots Households (2019-2020)". This report based on data from the Census and Statistics Department's Household Expenditure Survey conducted in 2019/20. The study analyzes the monthly expenditures of grassroots households in areas such as food, housing, and education. As the Household Expenditure Survey did not include Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) households, the results of this study reflect the situation of grassroots families outside the CSSA system. Four specific groups were selected for in-depth exploration, namely private housing households, one-person households, elderly persons living alone / elderly doubletons, and households with children. Based on the findings and analysis, the HKCSS has put forward a series of policy recommendations aimed at reducing poverty and deprivation, and improving their quality of life. You may access the Research Brief: "Research on Expenditure Patterns of Grassroots Households (2019-2020)" (in Chinese) by following the link provided. If you have any enquiries, please call 2864 2906 or email [email protected] to contact Mr. Ronald ...
