Did you know that 1.6 per cent of Hong Kong secondary students tried to take their own lives in the last academic year and 3.7 per cent considered it? According to the Hong Kong Department of Health, these statistics increased by 50 per cent since 2018-19. FIFTY PERCENT. This unfortunate reality underlines the urgent need for action.The mental health crisis is more prevalent than ever, which is why I have decided to donate my birthday to Mind HK in lieu of traditional presents. Mind HK is an organization dedicated to ensuring no one has to face a mental health problem alone. Read more about them in the description below.

"Hearty One" is a project created for a cocktail competition goes beyond just mixology. While celebrating the art of cocktail-making, Hearty One also places a strong emphasis on promoting well-being. It serves as a platform to initiate conversations and increase understanding about mental health issues within the bartending and hospitality industry. Moreover by raising funds for Mind HK, a mental health charity dedicated to building a supportive mental health community, to ensure no one has to face a mental health problem alone in Hong Kong. More about Mind HK please visit - https://www.mind.org.hk/ The World Health Organisation defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” However, in Hong Kong and globally, mental health is often misunderstood and not given equal importance in terms of prevention and treatment compared to physical illness. It is estimated that 1 in 7 people in Hong Kong will experience a common mental disorder at any given time, yet three-quarters of those individuals do not seek professional help. Many suffer in silence due to stigma, shame, lack of awareness about their condition, and limited access to professional support. Further statistics show that many environmental, personal and social stressors also contribute to mental health problems. The hospitality industry had been identified as one of most stressful sectors. In Hong Kong, this large community of approximately 260,000 people, who play a vital role in our local economy, often suffer silently. As a bartender, I have witnessed firsthand the challenges and pressures faced by individuals working in the hospitality industry. The long hours, demanding schedules, and high-stress environments can take a toll on our mental health.Working in bar or restaurant requires speed, organised thought, unwavering attention to details, creativity, extensive knowledge of products and safety, and a genuine passion for serving, It’s a lot to balance, and many of us have experienced increased levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout. The primary objective of this fundraising campaign is to raise funds for Mind HK and contribute to their mission of creating a mentally healthier community. Additionally, I aim to raise awareness about mental health, destigmatize the topic, and provide resources specifically for individuals within the hospitality industry who may be struggling. By improving overall well-being, we can create a healthier and more sustainable work environment for the dedicated individuals who contribute to the industry’s success. Please support Mind HK and Hearty One! Let’s work towards a future where mental health is given attention and resources it deserves.「Hearty One」是一個為雞尾酒比賽而創建的項目，但不僅如此。在頌揚調酒藝術的同時，Hearty One 亦強調促進福𧘲。它作為一個平台，引發調酒師與餐旅業中對心理健康問題的討論，並提高對它的了解。 此外，透過為 Mind HK 籌集資金 - 香港心聆是一所本地精神健康慈善機構，致力確保香港沒有人需要獨自面對精神健康問題。更多關於香港心聆詳見 - https://www.mind.org.hk/ 世界衛生組織（WHO）將健康定義為「健康不僅爲疾病或羸弱之消除，而是體格， 精神與社會之完全健康狀態。」在香港以至全球，人們對精神健康仍有很多誤解。不論在預防及治療方面，精神健康並沒有像身體健康一樣受到重視。每七位香港人就有一位在一生中會經歷常見的心理疾病。然而，在這些正經歷精神健康問題的人中，七成半的人並不會尋求專業協助。於受到污名化問題、感到羞愧、對自身情況不了解，及缺乏專業支援的情況下，許多人將會繼續面對被孤立的問題。很多數據亦顯示環境、個人以及社會壓力會造成精神健康問題。 餐旅業被認為是壓力最大的行業之一。 在香港，這個擁有約 260,000 人組成的龐大社群，在推動本地經濟發展中發揮著重要作用，每每工作壓力再大 - 卻默默習已為常。 身為調酒師，對餐旅業人員面臨的挑戰和壓力亦歷歷在目。 長時間的工作、嚴格的日程安排和高壓力的環境都會損害我們的心理健康。 在酒吧或餐廳工作需要迅速、有組織的思考、對細節的持久關注、創造力、對產品和安全的廣泛知識以及對服務的熱情，當中講求平衡的非常多。我們中之許多人都經歷過不同程度的壓力、焦慮已及倦怠。此籌款活動的主要目標是為Mind HK籌集資金，為他們創建心理健康社區的使命做出貢獻。此外，藉此提高大家對心理健康的認識，消除社會對此話題的污名化，並為餐旅業內可能遇到困難的人提供資源。通過改善整體福祉，我們可以為餐旅業的成功做出貢獻的敬業人士創造一個更健康、更可持續的工作環境。 請支持Mind HK及Hearty One，共同實現一個心理健康得到應有關注和資源的未來。

Why we are doing this 1 in 7 people in Hong Kong will face a common mental health problem in their lifetime. The suicide rate among youth in Hong Kong is rising. Everyone’s mental health journey is different, but we all deserve to have access to support when it is needed.

Despite the fact that men have a lower rate of depression, their suicide rates surpass those of women. Studies have proven men experience situational depression more frequently, and if left untreated, it can lead to deeper depression, anxiety, and suicide.We have been taught to be unconditionally tough both physically and emotionally in the established way - any display of emotions has been considered as a sign of incompetence or not being 'man' enough. Throughout history, barriers have been built against men to seek help.I would like to help break down these walls for everyone, especially men in Hong Kong, by initiating a fundraising campaign for Mind HK. Hoping that supporting local charity can spread awareness about mental well-being in Hong Kong and encourage men to prioritize self-care.儘管事實上男性罹患憂鬱症的比率較低，但自殺率卻遠超女性。研究表明，男性更常經歷情境性憂鬱，如果不及時治療，可能導致更深層的憂鬱、焦慮，甚至自殺。傳統觀念上，男性被教導要無條件地堅強。任何情感的表達都被視為無能，以致一直以來男性尋求幫助亦非易事。我希望透過為香港心聆(Mind HK)發起籌款活動，支持香港心聆在港推廣有關心理健康的意識，鼓勵男士重視自身情緒和精神健康。為所有人，尤其香港男性打破現存障礙。

Hello everyone. I am so excited to share that I will be taking on the 100km Sahara challenge in October this year. I am a Hong Kong-based counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist working towards my doctorate in psychology. I am deeply passionate about researching the benefits of self-care and how it can positively impact our lives. For me, exercise has always been a powerful self-care tool and one of the most effective strategies I use to help me decompress and gain clarity when I am stressed or struggling with a problematic personal, academic or professional issue. This challenge is a chance for me to take a short break from my work and studies and raise money and awareness for a deserving charity.I am fortunate to work with a diverse population of clients from many different cultures and with a wide range of presenting problems. While the global stigma attached to mental health is slowly reducing, we still have a long way to go, particularly in Hong Kong and other parts of Asia. Therefore, I have chosen to run for Mind HK. This organisation has been instrumental in raising mental health awareness and providing education to change attitudes towards those facing mental health challenges, and promoting the understanding, acceptance and accessibility of different treatment inventions. I am asking for your support in this vital cause. Your donation, no matter how small, will make a difference in the lives of those struggling with mental health challenges. Thank you for your generosity and for joining me on this scorching hot, long and sandy adventure!Many thanks,Claire x
