"BLOG" Hidden Youth Career Life Development

Service Introduction

We are the first agency to engage in tackling the issue of hidden youth phenomenon in Hong Kong. Since 2003, we have started a pilot counselling service with the support of various funding. Starting from April 2016, the hidden youth counselling service which is named "BLOG" Hidden Youth Career Life Development Service was officially integrated into our mainstream integrated children and youth service in the Kowloon West and Hong Kong Island Districts.
