New Initiative: WACC x TourHeart+ — integrating online mental health support platform with onsite counselling service

In partnership with the Jockey Club TourHeart+ Project, the Wellness and Counselling Centre (WACC), the Office of Student Affairs has launched an integrated mental health support system for all full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students at CUHK. It combines online self-help mental support platform with in-person counselling service, offering tailored support levels based on the mental health needs and challenges faced by students in academic and personal lives.

Funded by the Jockey Club Charities Trust, TourHeart+ is an evidence-based one-stop online stepped care platform providing self-assessment, online course, emotions monitoring tools and workshops.

WACC staff will monitor users’ mental health status. If needed, face-to-face psychological counselling service can be arranged.

Full-time students are welcome to register for free and take advantage of the specialised online tools to take care of their mental well-being anytime, anywhere.
