聯絡「英國心泉」的家長不約而同地表示，很怕聽到親友這樣說。他們的孩子不少正在面對適應的困難，甚或情緒困擾，但家長和孩子往往只能將憂慮吞回肚裡，彷彿孩子的困局是不能說的秘密，家長們更不時質疑自己移民的決定是否有錯。

孩子不願上學

孩子不願上學 分享家長： Snoppy 情緒人人有，尤其是移民前後。 移民決定是在2020年12月，離開是2021年8 月，足足八個月，但不等於孩子已有足夠時間消化離開香港 — 這個我們深愛地方— 的決定。 出發前，15歲大仔F已不時會大發脾氣，失去學習目標及動力，也會間中不肯回校上課。因著其健康及情緒問題，早在2019年他已開始接受臨床心理學家(Clinical Psychologist)的輔導。2020年下旬，情緒終算穩定下來，所以暫停了輔導。決定移民後，又在臨行前安排了輔導會面，以為有準備。

Hong Kong Well Mental Health Triage Assessment Service

It is hard to get a child to speak up. Asking them to talk about their feelings in a foreign language is even more difficult. Our team will help to overcome the language barrier by providing triage assessment for children from Hong Kong in their mother tongue – Cantonese. An English referral letter will be prepared for their parents to follow up with teachers and NHS specialists.

Our team

They are clinical psychologists, family therapists and art therapists with registration either or both in the United Kingdom and/or Hong Kong. Details of the professional qualification will be provided upon confirmation of a meeting.

Who are we serving?

Children aged under 18 of families applying for or have been granted the British National (Overseas) Visa.

How do we meet?

1-2 online session(s) lasting 60 minutes each. Most of the meetings will be conducted online in Cantonese.

How to apply

  1. Find a referrer (teachers, school nurses, Special Education Need Coordinator (SENCO) , educational psychologists, clinical psychologists, general practitioners(GP), social workers, ordained ministers or lay pastors) to fill in the referral form.

  2. The applying family should fill in the application form

  3. We will only process the application upon receiving both forms. Due to the small size of our professional team, please be patient. Emergency cases will have the priority.

  4. Sign and send us the service agreement upon receiving a confirmation email on the appointment. This must be done 24 hours prior to the appointment time.

What do we charge?

We don’t charge for the moment but we would recommend a donation of £30 so that a more members of the wider Hongkonger community can be helped by our non-profit making services.
