About the Conference
Thanks to the generous sponsorship of our Headline Sponsor Manulife Hong Kong, you can now mark your calendars for Mind HK’s third conference. Join us in learning, sharing, and inspiring one another at this special event!
Mind HK's 3rd Mental Health Conference will take place from November 6-8, 2025, at Hotel ICON, Hong Kong. Titled Hong Kong International Mental Health Conference - “Navigating Life's Defining Moments,” the three-day event features:
Conference Day 1 & 2 (November 6-7, English) focused on the evidence, psychology, and culture of mental health across the lifespan
*Cantonese/English simultaneous interpretation will be available for sessions in the ballroom.
A Mental Wellbeing Festival (November 8, Cantonese and English) for the general public, exploring mental health during key transitions from birth to end-of-life.
Building on the success of Mind HK’s previous conferences in 2017 (focused on stigma) and 2020 (centred on youth mental health), this event will bring together renowned international and local experts to discuss timely and under-addressed topics. Mind HK’s vision is to ensure no one faces a mental health challenge alone. Through this conference, we aim to raise awareness of the intersection of mental health across the lifespan, including areas such as fertility challenges, perinatal and parental mental health, career transitions, end-of-life care, grief and more.

Days 1 and 2 are tailored for professionals (e.g., mental health practitioners, NGO staff) and students (e.g., public health or clinical psychology students). That said, anyone with an interest is more than welcome to join!
