家福會「自然為本靜觀課程研究」 (Chinese Version Only)

家福會一直關注照顧者需要,於2021年起獲香港賽馬會慈善信託基金捐助,於本會崇德家福軒 — 家庭退修中心(白屋)推行為期三年的「賽馬會家家自然好心晴」計劃,旨在提升家庭照顧者的身心健康,透過融合大自然元素的靜觀活動紓解照顧者壓力。

家福會亦於 2022至 2024 年與專門從事靜觀研究的香港理工大學盧希皿博士合作,為長者照顧者及經歷壓力的家長設計一個自然為本靜觀課程,並進行相關研究以評估課程效益。

研究發現長者照顧者在參與課程前後比較,在「抑鬱」、「焦慮」、「壓力」等指標均有顯著改善;而面對壓力的家長,在「壓力」、「身體癥狀」等指標亦有顯著改善。另外,參加者表示課程有助遠離壓力及體驗大自然靜觀力量,以新角度面對壓力,將正能量帶到現實。

家福會建議政府、社福機構及商界合作,予市民參加「融合大自然元素」的靜觀課程,歇息一刻,促進心理健康。

75th Anniversary themed video: Love in Long-distance Families

Recently, there has been an increase in people choosing to immigrate. Despite the family members being physically apart, their relationship has grown even closer than before with their dedication to maintain the relationship. Family wellbeing should not be altered by distance; what truly matters is the effort we put into maintaining it.

This year, as the Society celebrates its 75th anniversary, we have collaborated with the online platform Mill MILK to convey the message "Family is where Love is." Just like Gary and his daughter Jancy in the video, even though Gary may feel sadness as his daughter goes to study aboard in Canada, he will seek to understand and encourage Jancy to pursue her passions. Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, Gary revives his dream of forming a band, bringing the family closer together. Despite the physical apart between Gary and his daughter, their increased communication and improved relationship demonstrate that "Family is where Love is."
