Project Brief

Major Benefits

Delivery of evidence-based health messages to the public:

The health talks provide good opportunities to convey up-to-date health message to the public (e.g. breast health). As technology advances, people have easy access to a wealth of information from the internet or other media. Through analyses from invited health experts, the general public can have a deeper grasp of the latest research and health advice.

Health talk speakers: Topic: Depression.

A holistic approach

The health talks also focus on the prevention of diseases and promotion of healthy dietary habits and lifestyles. As women play an important positive role, they are able to affect the whole family’s health through modifying their lifestyle habits. Psychological health will also be covered in our talks.

Strengthen self-monitoring awareness:

Opportunities in engaging in simple health assessments (e.g. measuring blood pressure or BMI) can promote self-awareness of health and active approach to health.

Practical exercises to release stress.
