The Jockey Club Youth Mental Health Online Support Platform 'OpenUp' provides a text-based counseling platform for youth aged 11-35, offering emotional support around the clock. It helps young people cope with emotional distress caused by academic pressures, family issues, peer relationships, and work. We are here to listen to any emotional struggles that weigh on your mind. You can contact us anytime through your phone or computer via WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, SMS, or our official website. 'OpenUp' is supported by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust and the University of Hong Kong's Centre for Suicide Research, operated collaboratively by five social welfare organizations (BGCA, Caritas Hong Kong, The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, Hong Kong Youth Service, and St. James' Settlement). Our counseling team consists of trained volunteers and professional counselors, and all conversations are kept confidential.
Mental health is critically important to everyone, everywhere. All over the world, mental health needs are high but responses are insufficient and inadequate. The World mental health report: transforming mental health for all is designed to inspire and inform better mental health for everyone everywhere. Drawing on the latest evidence available, showcasing examples of good practice from around the world, and voicing people's lived experience, it highlights why and where change is most needed and how it can best be achieved. It calls on all stakeholders to work together to deepen the value and commitment given to mental health, reshape the environments that influence mental health, and strengthen the systems that care for mental health.
