Mental Ideas extends its heartfelt condolences to all affected by the tragic fire in Tai Po. Our hearts ache for all those who lost loved ones. We are eternally grateful to the brave firefighters and emergency services. The mobilisation of community support has been heroic, as Hongkongers have rushed to give blood, food, blankets and money. Despite all the solidarity, the feelings of grief, sadness and helplessness can be overwhelming. If you’re struggling with your mental health, please know you’re not alone and reach out.

Bipolar Hong Kong‘s monthly support group is this coming Monday (Dec 1) at Starbucks in Prosperity Tower, Queens Road Central, and we intend to hold at least one extra in-person group before the holiday.  We also offer 121 support in person and online at any time to anyone who needs it. Mind HK and the Red Cross have also set up 24 hour hotlines (below).

We send our deepest condolences to everyone impacted by this tragic event and join our beloved city in mourning every life lost.
