"Play is very important for children. Toys are the child’s words and play is the child’s language."
- Haim Ginott, 1961
Through play therapy service, children can express their thoughts, needs, and feelings in a safe and autonomous environment. At the same time, it allows parents to gain a deeper understanding of their children's world, learn how to respond to and support them, so as to foster their children's emotional intelligence, self-esteem, sense of competence, confidence, and social skills, as well as enhancing the parent-child relationship.
Service Objectives:
1. Help children effectively express their inner feelings, release negative emotions, reduce emotional and behavioural problems, and improve mental health.
2. Assist parents in better understanding of their children, improving communication and parenting methods, and establishing a good parent-child relationship.
In recent years, the emotional wellbeing of children and caregivers has been a major concern in the society. In view of this, we decided to launch a two-year plan called "Project Illuminating" with the goal of facilitating the emotional wellbeing of caregivers and children. The project aims at reducing caregivers’ anxiety and stress through activities, including: family interviews, mental health workshops, developmental groups, parent-child activities, children and adolescent emotional wellbeing activities, drama therapy and art therapy services, and caregiver life experience exhibitions. These activities will impact changes in the society through providing mental health knowledge and training, promoting parent-child relationships, and enhancing public awareness and concerns about mental health.
