About Us
Mind the Waves is a Hong Kong-based charity founded in 2023 by three Olympians.
​Our ambition for Mind the Waves is simple; to get a conversation that’s welcoming, friendly and accessible for any young person in Hong Kong to join. And that conversation is specifically to help dismantle the stigma that currently exists around people and their mental wellbeing. We aim to help young people engage with their own mental strength and build resilience, creating a ripple effect of positivity throughout the city.
​
At Mind the Waves, we believe that by empowering individuals to prioritize mental well-being, we can inspire a generation of ambassadors for this positive way of living. These ambassadors will carry this message forward, creating a wave of mental wellness that radiates through Hong Kong.
​
Join us as we ride this wave of change and create a brighter, healthier future together.
Our Work
Through a combination of advocacy, education, and community engagement, we work to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and provide support to boost mental well-being.
We offer a range of initiatives that make a tangible impact both online and offline.
Advocacy and Awareness
We’re dedicated to raising awareness and driving change for mental health, both online and offline.
Through our video podcast series, we engage a wide audience, offering insightful conversations, expert advice, and personal stories that challenge stigma and foster understanding. Offline, we take our message directly into communities, speaking at events, and collaborating with organizations as their trusted mental health partner. Together, we are creating a world where mental health is prioritized, people feel supported, and no one has to face mental health challenges alone.
We believe in the power of human connection and the importance of coming together in real life.
Our events, like our Self-Care Fair, offer our community meaningful opportunities to engage in mental well-being activities, discover self-care practices, and connect with others who share a commitment to mental health. In our work as mental health partners, we help ensure that mental health awareness is woven into the fabric of team culture and initiatives. Our events provide a safe space to better understand and care for mental health. Join us at our next event and be part of our community!
