"You've Got a Friend" Charity Concert Aims to Promote Mental Wellness

To further promote awareness of emotional health,the Hong Kong Mental Wellness Association held a press conference for the charity concert in mid-December 2024. During the event,Brian Chow and Susan Wong discussed the concert's objectives and preparation process. Former Miss Hong Kong winner Virginia Yung shared her experiences with emotional struggles.

Brian Chow,a beacon of hope in the fight against emotional disorders,reflected on the past two decades. He stated,"I often ask myself if I have emotional problems without realizing it. Fortunately,I have not magnified this worry and frequently remind my friends that if they suspect they have emotional issues,they should share their feelings with others and seek professional help if necessary." He emphasized that emotional disorders are pervasive,and people sometimes choose to avoid confronting their problems. This is one of the reasons he is participating in the charity concert,hoping to encourage those around him to understand that "there's always a friend by your side; You've Got a Friend!"

Susan Wong,who balances her roles as a practicing accountant,wife,and mother,spoke about the pressures and challenges of her multiple identities. She shared,"I listen to music when I'm happy,and when I'm not,singing helps relieve my mood. Through this concert,I hope to use my music to heal everyone's emotional health and help those struggling with emotional issues release their stress and find a brighter future. It's okay not to be okay!"
