Till now, 25 participants (8 males and 17 females) with an average age 20.32 (SD=2.85) have received the vocational counselling services. The young participants have gone through a journey to explore their strength, preferred identities, life themes and the pathways of actions to achieve their life themes. Their sharing provides insights and experiential data to enhance the understanding of vocation and recovery for youth with mental health issues in Hong Kong.
