On Mental Health from
the Jardine Ambassadors
MINDSET Fun Day Promotes Mental Health Awareness
Over 150 Jardine Matheson Group
employees, together with 89 service
users from six NGOs, participated in
the MINDSET Fun Day to celebrate
MINDSET’s ninth anniversary at Wu Kai
Sha Youth Village in Hong Kong.
This annual event also aims to
promote mental health awareness
among Jardines employees and the
integration of the rehabilitated back
into society. Jardines staff and service
users from Castle Peak and Kwai
Chung hospitals, Baptist Oi Kwan
Social Service, the Mental Health
Association of Hong Kong, New Life
Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association
and the Phoenix Clubhouse teamed up
to participate in various games.
In one of the games, participants
were asked to display their team
spirit on stage by creating a short
performance to introduce their teams
and team slogans. The staff and
service users demonstrated their
creativity and sense of humour in their
performances, winning wide applause.
“Jardines employees’ active
involvement in this event reflects the
Group’s relentless efforts to promote
awareness of mental health issues.
I hope all participants will work
together to remove the social stigma
associated with people suffering
from mental illness,” said MINDSET
Governor and Jardine Matheson Group
Finance Director James Riley.
Latest Jardine Ambassadors Assume their Roles as Mental Health Advocates
At the launch of the latest Jardine
Ambassadors Programme to promote
mental wellbeing in the community, 39
new Ambassadors were inaugurated
watched by over 100 guests including
senior management and executives
from various Jardine Matheson Group
companies. MINDSET Chairman and
Group Managing Director Anthony
Nightingale also presented certificates
to the Jardine Ambassadors who had
served their two-year tenure as mental
health advocates.
The new Ambassadors subsequently
attended a two-day orientation camp
together with current Ambassadors
who are serving their second year
of service. On the first day, team
building exercises and the sharing
of experiences provided the new
Ambassadors with the opportunity to
gain a better understanding of their
roles. On the second day, Kwai Chung
Hospital Senior Clinical Psychologist
Dr Raymond Chan conducted an
educational session on basic mental
health knowledge for the new
Ambassadors and also explained
the skills and techniques required
for working with secondary school
students participating in the Health in
Mind Programme.
