The Resilient Students Training Hub (ReST Hub), launched this academic year by the School of Nursing and the Mental Health Research Centre (MHRC), is a five-year research-driven service and education initiative aimed at enhancing the mental health and resilience of PolyU students.
To celebrate this year’s project achievements, the organisers held a celebratory event on 3 April 2025. The occasion was officiated by Dr the Hon. LAM Ching-choi, SBS, JP, Member of the Executive Council of the Government of the HKSAR. PolyU representatives included Prof. Horace MUI, Interim Dean of Students, Prof. David SHUM, Dean of the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, Prof. Sylvia CHEN, Interim Director of MHRC, Prof. Justina LIU, Associate Head of the School of Nursing, and Dr Florence WU, Section Head of Counselling and Wellness of the Student Affairs Office. The event featured interactive games, inspirational talks by local music artist Mr Alfred HUI and Olympic badminton player Mr LEE Cheuk-yiu, and a performance by the PolyU Music Society, bringing together over 200 participants from PolyU and the local community.
The project will introduce further initiatives in the coming years, with the goal of fostering ecosystems that actively promote mental health and resilience on the university campus.
