Jockey Club S.A.T.H. Project for Healthy Families

Introduction

Funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the three-year project Jockey Club S.A.T.H. Project for Healthy Families has been launched since October 2021. The project is coordinated by The Chinese University of Hong Kong - The Jockey Club School of Public Health and Primary Care, co-organised by Hong Kong Christian Service, Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council, Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui and Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Lady MacLehose Centre. This project aims to provide culturally appropriate health information for ethnic minorities and to enhance their capacity in health management. Starting from February 2025, we launch the second phase of the project, which will expand services to include mental health support. The project also promotes connection among ethnic minorities, health professionals and social service providers so as to achieve "Sustainability for All, Together for Health".
