Navigating Adversity Counselling Service

Background

We have been providing professional counselling services as early as the 1970s. As the Hong Kong Economy faced great change and many Hong Kong residents experienced adversity in 2009, the Navigating Adversity Counselling Service was launched to provide professional counselling as well as preventive and educational service to Hong Kong residents in distress. Since April 2014, we have been receiving funding from the Community Chest of Hong Kong to continue with the Project, and gradually developing as a very low fee-charging professional counselling service.
