It’s often said that happiness is elusive. If your goal is to bring happiness to others, could this journey be filled with challenges?

The local social incubation programme – Impact Innovation Lab will be holding an Information Session and Social Innovation Exploration Series Webinar on December 14, 2023. Themed “Harmonious City,” the upcoming webinar will focus on the challenges and opportunities Hong Kong faces in mental wellness. Essentially, it will explore how social innovation plays an active role of promoting well-being, making positive impacts.

Our guest speakers, Dr. Amanda C. M. Li, a clinical psychologist & co-founder of StoryTaler, and Mr. Charles Lo, co-founder of Upmood, will share how their innovative projects promote well-being in Hong Kong. Amanda wears multiple hats, being a registered clinical psychologist and a mindfulness teacher. She established the social enterprise “Storyteller” in 2015, which now has over ten thousand followers. By sharing stories, imparting knowledge, and hosting events, she actively promotes mental health and strives to reduce psychiatric stigma in the community.

On the other hand, Charles leads product and business development for the social enterprise “Upmood”. In response to the emotional problems of urbanite, the brand designed a smartwatch named “Upmood Watch”. This device collects biodata to offer insight into our health and emotional state, with the goal to raise urbanite’s awareness of their well-being.
