About Us

The Weez Project was set up in memory of Jamie Bruno.

We are a community group that is working to increase awareness of youth mental health issues and campaigning to prevent youth suicide.

Our Vision

For there to be zero youth suicides in Hong Kong.

Our Mission

For there to be help and support for young people in Hong Kong who are facing mental health challenges, especially those who are contemplating self-harm or suicide.

Our Aims

• To encourage young people to seek help for themselves and to help others.
• To help educate teachers and parents to know more about mental health issues.
• To advocate for improvements in youth mental health, including suicide prevention.

How We Work

We collaborate with and raise funds for specialist youth and mental health organisations who have the expertise to deliver practical, relevant programmes and information for Hong Kong’s youth and to provide accessible, expert resources to help young people and the adults around them.

We also campaign for suicide prevention and improved mental health support for young people.

Mind HK

The Weez Project is now partnering with Mind HK – a S88 registered charity aims to ensure no one in Hong Kong faces a mental health problem alone. Through their work, Mind HK hope to improve awareness of mental health and mental health conditions, remove the associated stigma, and provide talking therapy, with the aim of achieving the best mental health for all in Hong Kong

iACT

The Weez Project is now supporting the Mind HK psychological support service, Improving Access to Community Therapies (iACT®), which stands for Improving Access to Community Therapies. Developed by Mind HK, iACT utilises an internationally recognised stepped care model that has been successfully implemented in various countries. Proceeds from the Weez Walk will be used to support this programme in providing free psychological talk therapy to people in need.

Coolminds

The Weez Project has supported Coolminds – a comprehensive youth mental health initiative led by KELY Support Group and Mind HK.

Coolminds aims to bring international best practice in youth mental health to Hong Kong and aid in the implementation of programmes for the prevention, early intervention, and management of youth mental health.
