The Hong Kong Mental Health Conference 2020 will take place as planned on November 6th and 7th 2020. The second of Mind HK’s triennial conferences will focus on youth mental health and will showcase the best local and international research, innovation and best practice. The Hong Kong Youth Summit will follow the conference and take place on November 8. With the theme “Resilience: Supporting each other and ourselves” the summit seeks to engage youth.

The virtual conference and summit will be delivered in English (with simultaneous translation in all live sessions), in order to allow everyone with an interest in youth mental health to experience the exceptional line up of world-renowned speakers. Participants will gain access to a state of the art, interactive, digital programme and will have the option to express interest in attending in person (subject to public gathering restrictions).
