Anyone could be allies to promote men’s mental health, learned about their own mental health needs and take appropriate actions in looking after it.

Youth Wellbeing Practitioners from Mind HK, Mr. Jacky Chow and Ms. Victoria Tam, discussed local statistics on men's mental health and common problems faced by men, including the impact of cultural expectations. Obstacles that men face when seeking help were also explored and the DOTS framework (Distraction, Opting Out, Thinking Strategies, Substance and other Strategies) was introduced to find out if those methods are workable in the long term to lead us a rich and meaningful life.

Riding on the concept of acceptance, Victoria and Jacky discussed the differences between being aware of our thoughts and feelings and avoiding or denying them. The choice-point theory was introduced, and participants were provided relevant tips to promote psychological flexibility and self-care.
