- 08:33As a nonprofessional
- 08:36sorry. Nonprofit
- 08:37organization,

- 08:41care through vocational rehab,
- 08:44community
- 08:45mental health service, residential
- 08:47service, also,
- 08:48family caregiver and peer support.
- 08:51Next,
- 08:52please.
- 08:53The face on the way
- 08:55actually remind us recovering and
- 08:57citizenship
- 08:58are lifelong journey.
- 09:00Who
- 09:01they don't have a final
- 09:03destination.
- 09:04We are always moving forward
- 09:07step by step together.
- 09:08It's a shared path. And,
- 09:11this game actually invites
- 09:13players to walk that path
- 09:15side by side with laughter,
- 09:18empathy,
- 09:19praise, and courage,
- 09:21reminding us that no one
- 09:24has to travel alone.
- 09:26Next, please.
- 09:28The an the inspiration
- 09:30of this game actually came
- 09:31in two zero two o
- 09:33during our visit to Perch,
- 09:35and, the classes was not
- 09:38in, you know, hospital or
- 09:40clinic, but in, community soup
- 09:43kitchen,
- 09:44Ikea, and
- 09:45it's everywhere.
- 09:47And they were casual,
- 09:48safe environment that people can,
- 09:51build genuine connection with each
- 09:53other. So,
- 09:56next, please.
- 09:57So when we
- 09:58return home,
- 09:59we ask ourselves
- 10:02how to create something
- 10:04fun, portable, and can play
- 10:06everywhere.
- 10:07And, also, we can use
- 10:08the tools to,
- 10:10for advocacy
- 10:12and to,
- 10:13for community
- 10:14inclusion
- 10:16and creates
- 10:17hope. So,
- 10:19next, please.
- 10:20We want it to fit
- 10:21in with Asian
- 10:23culture by emphasizing bonding
- 10:26across generation,
- 10:28embodying,
- 10:30the spirit of,
- 10:32citizenship
- 10:33and create safe
- 10:35environment
- 10:36for
- 10:38the conversation
- 10:39and build relationship.
- 10:41So, I remember back to
- 10:43my old days when I
- 10:44was a baby, my grandma
- 10:46used to carry me to
- 10:47relatives' home to watch her
- 10:49playing Mahjong,
- 10:51and they chat between games.
- 10:53So that is the reason
- 10:55why we want to have
- 10:56a board game to make
- 10:57people speak up. Next, please.
- 11:02So these are the,
- 11:04evolution process of the game
- 11:06map.
- 11:08Yeah. This is my hand,
- 11:10handwriting,
- 11:11my drawing.
- 11:13Next, please.
- 11:15So,
- 11:16one of my colleagues say
- 11:18this game map design looks
- 11:20like a worm
- 11:21or a snake.
- 11:23So we'd end up change
- 11:24it to the final
- 11:26design. Next, please.
- 11:28So this is the final
- 11:30design. It's much better. Doesn't
- 11:32look like you're warm.
- 11:34To make,
- 11:36next, please.
- 11:39Yeah. To make it truly
- 11:41ours,
- 11:42we turn to cocreation.
- 11:44So through the focus group
- 11:46with,
- 11:47with our people with,
- 11:51live experience,
- 11:52peer supporters,
- 11:53our,
- 11:55staff,
- 11:56and,
- 11:58our our family caregivers.
- 12:00So we developed the cards
- 12:02altogether.
- 12:04You can see the photos.
- 12:06Next, please.
- 12:10Yeah. Actually, this time is
- 12:11during COVID nineteen, so everyone
- 12:13is wearing mask.
- 12:15Yeah. Next, please.
- 12:18So every card tells a
- 12:20new a a real story,
- 12:21a human story of resilience
- 12:24and growth,
- 12:26drawn from lived experience.
- 12:29Next, please. Includes
- 12:31those,
- 12:31from Hong Kong mental health
- 12:33policies,
- 12:34the classes contents, what which
- 12:37we go through,
- 12:38like, family relationship,
- 12:41what is five hours,
- 12:44finance,
- 12:45any I remember the finance
- 12:47part.
- 12:49Yeah. And all those parts.
- 12:50Yeah. Next, please.
- 12:53So,
- 12:55actually, they don't have model
- 12:57answer on the instruction manual
- 12:59in this game because recovery
- 13:02is built from lived experience,
- 13:04from what we learn from
- 13:06each other, and from being
- 13:08street smart through our citizens
- 13:11classes
- 13:12and through the life our
- 13:13life itself.
- 13:15So,
- 13:16along the way, we create
- 13:18spaces and creativity
- 13:20and,
- 13:21expressions.
- 13:22So we are thinking how
- 13:24can we honor and sustain
- 13:26the work from
- 13:27our peer supporters,
- 13:29working with us.
- 13:32Next, please.
- 13:33So,
- 13:34we have, like, arts and
- 13:36planting opportunities
- 13:38for
- 13:40everyone to share
- 13:42students' journeys
- 13:43through,
- 13:45different,
- 13:46like, Instagram
- 13:47reels,
- 13:49connecting.
- 13:51Actually, we have people drawing
- 13:53on,
- 13:54on the wall.
- 13:56Next, please.
- 13:57And I found,
- 13:59similar something similar in Connecticut,
- 14:03but ours is a a
- 14:04lot a lot smaller, a
- 14:06very small version.
- 14:09So citizens can be a
- 14:10form of art. It's not
- 14:12just,
- 14:13something we do, but, it
- 14:16we feel, like, deeply
- 14:17and carry with us in
- 14:19our heart and memories.
- 14:21Next, please.
- 14:24This is the Instagram
- 14:26reels that I mentioned just
- 14:28now. We we use,
- 14:30the student stories and create
- 14:32the those wheels, and they
- 14:34can, like, revisit again and
- 14:36again.
- 14:37Next,
- 14:39please.
- 14:40So one of our favorite,
- 14:43creation is our mascot,
- 14:47ours,
- 14:48create by senior
- 14:50peer supporter, Saolan.
- 14:53Actually, the name is called
- 14:54Aussie Buddy.
- 14:55And,
- 14:56yeah, let's let's hear what's
- 14:59what she say about how
- 15:00to create the Buddy and
- 15:02what is represents.
- 15:04Thank you.
- 15:08Hi. I'm Shouline Carey.
- 15:10I'm a senior peer supporter,
- 15:13a person in mental recovery,
- 15:15a visual artist, and a
- 15:17creator of RC Buddy.
- 15:19Richard and Carmen.
- 15:21Their names begin with r
- 15:22and c, representing
- 15:24recovering citizenry.
- 15:27For many years,
- 15:28I experienced
- 15:29weight gains caused by medication
- 15:32side effects.
- 15:33It affected my daily life
- 15:35and challenged my confidence.
- 15:38Full exercise and healthy diet.
- 15:41I gradually transformed my body
- 15:43and regained my self esteem.
- 15:46When I created RC Buddy,
- 15:49I wanted to decide characters
- 15:50who are a little chubby,
- 15:53but always trying their best
- 15:55to be active,
- 15:56optimistic,
- 15:57and never give up.
- 15:59Someone who could encourage others
- 16:01in mental recovery
- 16:03will also face similar challenges.
- 16:07Alcimatis
- 16:08personality
- 16:09reflects a plan of myself
- 16:11and many peers in recovery.
- 16:15Richard is curious and eager
- 16:17to learn. Carmen is outgoing
- 16:19and loves sports.
- 16:21But no matter what, they're
- 16:23always kind,
- 16:24warm, and adorable.
- 16:27Richard and Carmen both look
- 16:29like peanuts.
- 16:31In Hong Kong, eating peanuts
- 16:33is a slang for being
- 16:34bystander,
- 16:36waiting for drama to unfold.
- 16:39It also mirrors how society
- 16:41sometimes view people in recovery
- 16:43with curiosity,
- 16:46indifference, or even stigma.
- 16:48By giving them a peanut
- 16:50like appearance,
- 16:52I hope to inspire our
- 16:54society
- 16:55not to be passive bystander,
- 16:57but to engage,
- 16:59participate, and understand.
- 17:01To see people in recovery
- 17:03also possess the five hours,
- 17:07and they truly belong and
- 17:09contribute as part of our
- 17:11society
- 17:13in their world. Priscilla,
- 17:14I think it is time
- 17:16to stop. Yeah. Thank you.
- 17:22So next, please.
- 17:25Actually, we launched a mascot
- 17:27design competition,
- 17:29and,
- 17:30our senior peer supporter, Carrie,
- 17:33won the game. So,
- 17:35we used
- 17:37our buddy as the mascot
- 17:39of our board game as
- 17:40well.
- 17:41So now,
- 17:42we continue to
- 17:44to mention about the promotion
- 17:46of board game.
- 17:48Next, please.
- 17:51We actually use in few
- 17:53elements,
- 17:55in the citizens projects,
- 17:57including
- 17:58projects,
- 18:00parties, and also graduation
- 18:03ceremony.
- 18:04So,
- 18:06next, please.
- 18:08Through community
- 18:10events,
- 18:11like those, we actually want
- 18:14to promote it within our,
- 18:16agency.
- 18:17So,
- 18:18in the new staff orientation
- 18:21training and the staff retreat,
- 18:23we introduce this game to
- 18:25everyone, like, over two hundred
- 18:28people.

- 18:58We shared citizens project and
- 19:01our board game to them.
- 19:03Them. We,
- 19:04and and strengthened the partnership
- 19:06across the Asia. And this
- 19:08year, we post our board
- 19:10games to New Zealand, to
- 19:11Helen Hammer, and also,
- 19:14to Yale Purge team.
- 19:17So next, please.
- 19:20So I will pass the
- 19:21time now to Erin who
- 19:22will share more about the
- 19:24research
- 19:25behind the board game. Thank
- 19:27you.
- 19:28Hey, Liana.
- 19:30Hello, everyone. I'm Erin, one
- 19:31of the occupational therapists at
- 19:33Richmond Fellowship of Hong Kong,
- 19:35and I'm also the principal
- 19:36investigator on evaluating the effectiveness
- 19:39of the RC board game.
- 19:40So it's my pleasure to
- 19:41be with you all today.
- 19:43It is our aim that
- 19:44we discuss the impacts of
- 19:45the board game through concrete
- 19:47figures and data.
- 19:48So, therefore,
- 19:49since the last quarter of
- 19:50last year, we commenced conducting
- 19:53a research internally in our
- 19:54fellowship. Next, please.
- 19:58So this is our research
- 19:59topic, an evaluation of a
- 20:01four session recovering citizenship on
- 20:03the way board game. So
- 20:05we use a focus group
- 20:06study to demonstrate alongside,
- 20:09the questionnaires to to elicit
- 20:10the best picture on the
- 20:11effectiveness of our board game.
- 20:13So in this research, we
- 20:15recruit service users from our
- 20:16agency and also staff who
- 20:18are trained as the board
- 20:19game facilitators,
- 20:21and, we will discuss their
- 20:22experiences then.
- 20:24Next, please.
- 20:26So to achieve our aim
- 20:27to gain a holistic view
- 20:28on the experiences,
- 20:30we evaluate players' understanding of
- 20:32the citizens project after the
- 20:34four session working group. And
- 20:35there are also their levels
- 20:36of satisfaction
- 20:38and their perceived visibility and
- 20:39sustainability of the board game.
- 20:41Next, please.
- 20:44In terms of assessment tools,
- 20:46we utilize focus groups to
- 20:48gather qualitative figures from both
- 20:50participants
- 20:51and facilitators.
- 20:52Participants will be asked to
- 20:53complete an additional citizenship measure
- 20:56at two time points to
- 20:57evaluate the changes of understanding
- 20:59to the citizens project after
- 21:01playing the board game.
- 21:02Next, please.
- 21:05So for the purpose of
- 21:06the research, we conduct a
- 21:08four session board game group
- 21:09in each service unit in
- 21:10our agency. So each group
- 21:12will comprise of roughly six
- 21:14to eight players who are
- 21:15eighteen or above, Cantonese b
- 21:17k, and our service users
- 21:19of our fellowship.
- 21:20Next, please.
- 21:23So to maximize players' comprehension
- 21:25to the citizenship measure, we
- 21:27utilize its Chinese version as
- 21:29the assessment tool. So this
- 21:31has been previously validated by
- 21:33our research team led by
- 21:34Leona at the fellowship, and
- 21:36the results have been and
- 21:37also Fiona and have and
- 21:38the results have been published
- 21:39to inter international journals.
- 21:41Next, please.
- 21:45Knowing that the board game
- 21:45is a pioneering initiative within
- 21:47our agency and region wide,
- 21:49our team has filmed an
- 21:50introductory video on the game
- 21:52rules, which has been posted
- 21:53on the agency's official YouTube.
- 21:55You may also fill it
- 21:57with English subtitles if you
- 21:58turn on the closed caption
- 21:59function. So please feel free
- 22:01to watch the video if
- 22:01you want to gain a
- 22:02thorough understanding of the game
- 22:04of of the gameplay process
- 22:05up to today.
- 22:06Next, please.
- 22:08So now I'll be introducing
- 22:10the in the most interesting
- 22:12part of today about the
- 22:13gameplay protocol and also some
- 22:14of the guiding questions that
- 22:16we developed for our peer
- 22:17supporters at our agency.
- 22:19All of our peer supporters
- 22:21have been trained as board
- 22:22game facilitators
- 22:23before. So here is the
- 22:24outline of the four session
- 22:26group that we were mentioning
- 22:27earlier on. So let me
- 22:28go through them in details.
- 22:30Next, please.
- 22:33So before that, let's talk
- 22:34about the components enclosed in
- 22:35our board game pack. So
- 22:37there'll be five types of
- 22:38cards there,
- 22:39that resonates a life journey
- 22:41of a person, and, also,
- 22:42we suggest having at most
- 22:43eight players in each game
- 22:44play to facilitate sharing. Next,
- 22:47please.
- 22:49So in session one here,
- 22:51along,
- 22:52we have the, road to
- 22:53friendship.
- 22:55Next, please.
- 22:57So in this section of
- 22:58the board game, there are
- 23:00various tasks embedded. For example,
- 23:02asking players to take a
- 23:03selfie together or helping each
- 23:05other to do some light
- 23:06massage.
- 23:07So through these missions, we
- 23:08seek to build players' relationship
- 23:10through multiple interaction and sharing.
- 23:13And by feedback, it is
- 23:14often seen that players have
- 23:16much more natural interaction with
- 23:18each other after completing these
- 23:19missions that require joint efforts.
- 23:21Next, please.
- 23:24So we suggest our facilitators
- 23:25can refer to some of
- 23:26our guiding questions here so
- 23:28that players can know each
- 23:29other much better after the
- 23:31first group session. So, for
- 23:32example, how have your friends
- 23:34supported you through difficult times?
- 23:36Things like that. Next, please.
- 23:39So coming up next is
- 23:40session two. So in session
- 23:42two, we will walk through
- 23:43the two major cards, which
- 23:45are work and also further
- 23:46studies. So let's look at
- 23:47work first. Next, please.
- 23:51So for work here, we
- 23:52gather insights from our fellow
- 23:54staff, like what Leonette has
- 23:55just mentioned, and come up
- 23:56with different work based dilemmas
- 23:58and also struggles that we
- 23:59can face at workplace.
- 24:00So for example, we'll ask
- 24:02players to, to share how
- 24:03they deal with workplace stress
- 24:05and what to do if
- 24:06they got dismissed unexpectedly.
- 24:08Next, please.
- 24:10And to augment the depth
- 24:12of the conversation, we suggest
- 24:13facilitators incorporate the use of,
- 24:16solution focused therapy by asking,
- 24:18like,
- 24:19can you share a time
- 24:20when you felt most effective
- 24:21at work? What was different
- 24:22then? Or, like, what would
- 24:24you see if you noticed
- 24:25yourself making a positive change
- 24:26at work?
- 24:27Think next, please.
- 24:31The next one, the green
- 24:32cards here are the further
- 24:33studies card. Next, please.
- 24:37In the further studies section,
- 24:38we highlight the four r's
- 24:40mental health charter, which is
- 24:41an initiative recommended by the
- 24:43Education Bureau of Hong Kong.
- 24:45We explore practical strategies to
- 24:47help students manage exam related
- 24:49stress and share methods between,
- 24:51the players and also their
- 24:53peers on how to manage
- 24:55the stress and also enhance
- 24:56their memory together.
- 24:58So this approach emphasized the
- 25:00importance of rest, relaxation,
- 25:02relationship, and also resilience,
- 25:04which aligns closely with the
- 25:05core concepts of the citizen's
- 25:07project, particularly focusing on resources
- 25:09and also relationships.
- 25:11Next, please.
- 25:14So we've also prepared some
- 25:15guiding questions in this section,
- 25:17which incorporates the essence of
- 25:18solution focused therapy or cognitive
- 25:21behavioral therapy.
- 25:22Next, please.
- 25:25So the third section here,
- 25:27we will cover
- 25:28of this, the lady life
- 25:30section and also the married
- 25:31life section. So let's look
- 25:32at here daily life vest.
- 25:34Next, please.
- 25:37So in daily life cards,
- 25:39daily life cards are designed
- 25:40for players to recognize their
- 25:41rights and become more aware
- 25:43of the available community resources.
- 25:45So for instance, we'll ask
- 25:46players to name five community
- 25:48facilities for doing sports,
- 25:50identify some residential surfaces within
- 25:52the community.
- 25:53So since we don't have
- 25:54a right or wrong answer
- 25:55to all these open ended
- 25:57questions because recovery is about
- 25:59long journey, there is no
- 26:00right or wrong answers. So
- 26:01these cards can be adaptable
- 26:03to players coming from different
- 26:04walks of life and also
- 26:05culture.
- 26:06Next, please.
- 26:09So, similarly, we've got some
- 26:10guiding questions for the working
- 26:12facilitators to refer to, but
- 26:14because of time constraints, maybe
- 26:15I'll just keep that for
- 26:16now. Next, please.
- 26:19The next up here, the
- 26:20pink cards are the married
- 26:22life. Next, please.
- 26:26Married life reflects much of
- 26:27our carers' voices who are
- 26:29concerned about their children's ability
- 26:31to engage in safe and
- 26:32healthy romantic relationships.
- 26:34So, interestingly, from my experience,
- 26:36this is one of the
- 26:37most popular paths as player
- 26:39often reflect that they have
- 26:40limited experience in love relationships.
- 26:43So, exploring these cards can
- 26:44help players to recognize their
- 26:46rights to engage in love
- 26:47and also support them in
- 26:48envisioning their, marriage life in
- 26:51the future.
- 26:52Next, please.
- 26:54So here we've got some
- 26:55guiding questions again. So we're
- 26:57mainly focusing on effective communication
- 27:00within the family, which is
- 27:02also a core topic in
- 27:03the citizen's in the citizen's
- 27:04project discussing relationships.
- 27:07Next, please.
- 27:10In the final session, session
- 27:11four, we explore the rainbow
- 27:13path, which provide players with
- 27:15the choices between daily life,
- 27:17work, or further studies.
- 27:19So our inspiration behind this
- 27:20comes from the focus group
- 27:22discussion with the service users
- 27:23during the design of the
- 27:24board game. They express a
- 27:26desire to see that life
- 27:28offers many options and opportunities,
- 27:30and that they believe that
- 27:31this perception can help them
- 27:33envision a future where they
- 27:34are walking a healthy recovery
- 27:36journey filled with hope and
- 27:38possibilities. So that's why we
- 27:39have, we offer them with
- 27:40the multiple choices here in
- 27:42the rainbow path.
- 27:43Next, please.
- 27:46So, finally, I'd like to
- 27:47share some key feedback and
- 27:48highlights from our players as
- 27:50well. So overall, speaking,
- 27:52their responses have been very
- 27:54positive regarding both the design
- 27:55and the content of the
- 27:56board game. And in particular,
- 27:58a number of surface users
- 27:59appreciated
- 28:00how the board game,
- 28:02encouraged active listening to their
- 28:03peers, which in turn provoked
- 28:05their internal reflection to their
- 28:07life.
- 28:08Next, please.
- 28:11The one piece of feedback
- 28:13that stood out to me
- 28:14was, from a player who
- 28:15reflected that they've, he found
- 28:17the task that involved drawing
- 28:18or writing challenging. And I
- 28:20think that's this highlights the
- 28:21importance of flexibility
- 28:23in adapting our game rules.
- 28:24So for example, facilitators
- 28:26in this case can use
- 28:27some verbal prompts to help
- 28:29them or encourage some pure
- 28:30support in the group so
- 28:31that we create an encouraging
- 28:33environment where players feel comfortable
- 28:35exploring their recovery journey and
- 28:36start feeling like, you know,
- 28:37being overwhelmed by some kind
- 28:39of, like, mission impossibles.
- 28:41Next, please.
- 28:44So in our previous
- 28:45working facilitators training, here, they
- 28:47are all our staff and
- 28:48that you can see Carrie,
- 28:50over there as well. I
- 28:51also incorporated
- 28:52photo voice into the feedback
- 28:54session, and turns out the
- 28:55responses were greatly heartwarming, actually.
- 28:57So our facilitators share how
- 28:59they felt supported by each
- 29:00other and reminisced about their
- 29:02childhood experiences, actually.
- 29:05Although we haven't completed formal
- 29:06research on this working yet,
- 29:08the feedback we collected from
- 29:10different stakeholders from our staff
- 29:12and also from our service
- 29:13users and in different occasions
- 29:15have proven to us that,
- 29:17this board game can have
- 29:18immense potential, actually. And we
- 29:20are confident that this board
- 29:21game will become one of
- 29:22the leading tools in introducing
- 29:24the concept of mental recovery
- 29:25in the future. So, thank
- 29:27you. Let me pass the
- 29:28time to Clarice to do
- 29:30the most interesting part of
- 29:31today again, the highlight of
- 29:33today on the game demo.
- 29:35Yeah. I think you guys
- 29:36will be, like, really thrilled
- 29:38because we're going to have
- 29:39the game demonstrations.
- 29:40So next slide.
- 29:43Yes.
- 29:44See,
- 29:46for this board game, you
- 29:47can actually choose your chess
- 29:49piece. So now I've chosen
- 29:51Richard to be our chess
- 29:52piece today. So first, we
- 29:54will walk through the roads
- 29:56of friendship. So this road
- 29:57is very
- 29:58interesting because, like, there are
- 30:00some cards that you can
- 30:01introduce and,
- 30:03invite your friends and game
- 30:04players to join you in
- 30:06the game, and then they
- 30:06would get the respective,
- 30:08number of tokens the same
- 30:10as your card points as
- 30:11well.
- 30:12So let's see where we're
- 30:14going
- 30:15and
- 30:16or what color we have
- 30:17drawn. So next slide, please.
- 30:20Yes.
- 30:21So so now
- 30:23we have drawn this card
- 30:24as about to provide
- 30:26support on or encouragement to
- 30:28your teammates with nonverbal expressions.
- 30:30So now would you like
- 30:32to share your nonverbal expression
- 30:34to me?
- 30:35Or
- 30:36you can use any method
- 30:37you can do.
- 30:40Yes. Oh, I can see
- 30:41an emoji, a heart emoji,
- 30:43and thumbs up as well.
- 30:48Oh, I can see, like,
- 30:49someone is doing a heart
- 30:51on your camera as well.
- 30:54Oh, I'm I feel like
- 30:55I'm flooding with loves here.
- 30:57Wow. That's a big heart.
- 31:00Yes. So I actually, this
- 31:01one is actually
- 31:03this concept has came from
- 31:04our
- 31:05WhatsApp
- 31:06group. And then every time
- 31:08when we have the classes
- 31:09or or having the recovery
- 31:11citizenship group, we'll have the
- 31:13WhatsApp. And then they would
- 31:14talk about their previous,
- 31:16like, the live in the
- 31:18previous week. And then sometimes
- 31:20usually, when they share about
- 31:21their experiences,
- 31:22our facilitators
- 31:23will ask our other members
- 31:25to show their love and
- 31:26support through this kind of
- 31:28nonverbal expression, such as your
- 31:30thumbs up or your heart
- 31:32as well. Yes. So thank
- 31:34you for your love.
- 31:36Yes. So go to your
- 31:37next slide, please.
- 31:40Yes.
- 31:41And then yes. This one.
- 31:44So our cards actually reflects
- 31:45different
- 31:47journeys of our lives. And
- 31:49then this one is about,
- 31:50like,
- 31:51you recently
- 31:52you recently fell
- 31:54very helpless
- 31:55due to poor sleep or
- 31:56loss of appetite, so you
- 31:58can ask your teammates for
- 31:59advice during a role play.
- 32:02So you can either,
- 32:03like,
- 32:04place your
- 32:06comments in the chat box,
- 32:08or you can turn on
- 32:09your mic as well
- 32:10to share your thoughts.
- 32:12So what shall I do?
- 32:19Yeah. Because I'm having, like,
- 32:22a poor sleep, and I
- 32:23can't eat, and I feel
- 32:25bad.
- 32:29So feel free to turn
- 32:30on your mic or type

- 32:35has a suggestion.
- 32:36Right. Really? Hi, Bridget. Hi,
- 32:38baby. How are you? You
- 32:39can pray.
- 32:42She's suggesting praying.
- 32:45Oh, okay. Spiritual part. Pray.
- 32:47Yes. That could do.
- 32:50Yes. Anymore?
- 32:51Oh, we can go to
- 32:53the market, pick up some
- 32:54snacks.
- 32:55Oh,
- 32:56yes. If you're going for
- 32:58a long walk, that will
- 32:59make you tired.
- 33:02Yes. Take a walk. Go
- 33:04to bed.
- 33:05At at the same time,
- 33:07read a book.
- 33:08Oh, this will give some
- 33:09good advices.
- 33:10Yes.
- 33:12Yes. Listening to relaxing music.
- 33:15Yes.
- 33:17Exercise.
- 33:20Yes.
- 33:22Dance.
- 33:23Yes. I love dance as
- 33:24well. Yeah. Talk to your
- 33:26friends.
- 33:27Yes. Listen to ring four.
- 33:30Oh, aromatherapy.
- 33:32That could be an
- 33:33I can try this as
- 33:34well.
- 33:37Yes. Jumping jacks together. Oh,
- 33:39getting the mood up. Yes.
- 33:41These are some examples, like,
- 33:42we can have from different
- 33:44peoples.
- 33:45Yes. And I can feel
- 33:46like
- 33:47the westerners love exercising and
- 33:50being active as well.
- 33:52Yeah. I I think this
- 33:53is very interesting, like, because
- 33:55we usually, like,
- 33:57also ask them to
- 33:59share their thoughts as well.
- 34:02Yes. And try cooking.
- 34:03Yes. And try your cooking.
- 34:05Yeah. I would love to.
- 34:07Yes. I think this is
- 34:08like sharing our experiences
- 34:10and what
- 34:11works for us
- 34:14to with others
- 34:15other members as well. Yes.
- 34:18Oh, turn off the electronic
- 34:19devices as well. Yes. That's
- 34:21good for sleeping as well.
- 34:23Yes. So these are some
- 34:24experiences we can or some,
- 34:28thoughts and tips from different
- 34:30people. And I think it's
- 34:31very important for
- 34:33our our members
- 34:34to know different,
- 34:37or getting different ideas from
- 34:40everyone.
- 34:40Yes. Because sometimes, like, our
- 34:42own thought is just limited,
- 34:44and then with
- 34:45group
- 34:46is more
- 34:47powerful as well. Yes. So
- 34:49we can go to the
- 34:50next slide.
- 34:52Yes. So I think we
- 34:53have a long a short
- 34:56journey past the friendship rose,
- 34:58and now we are at
- 34:59a crossroad. You can see,
- 35:01like, we have work and
- 35:03further studies
- 35:05at that two points.
- 35:06And then for this part,
- 35:08our participants need to choose
- 35:10which route they want to
- 35:11go. Like, either go
- 35:13to further studies first then
- 35:14to work, or they would
- 35:16go directly
- 35:17to the work parts. So
- 35:19for today, we're going to
- 35:21do further studies first. So
- 35:22next slide, please.
- 35:25Yes.
- 35:26So now you've been sitting
- 35:27in the class for more
- 35:28than four hours.
- 35:30So
- 35:31these are some cards that
- 35:32we we will ask our
- 35:34members to do,
- 35:35like, stretching exercise in our
- 35:37class. So I would lead
- 35:38you guys to do a
- 35:39little exercise now after we
- 35:41have been sitting here for,
- 35:42like, around forty minutes soon.
- 35:44So now we can stretch
- 35:46our hands up.
- 35:47Raise our hands. Yes.
- 35:50To do a little stretch.
- 35:52Yes. And then you can
- 35:53stretch to our sides.
- 35:56Yes.
- 35:57Yeah.
- 35:58Just move our hands.
- 36:00Yes. And for some parts,
- 36:01like, we usually
- 36:03ask us, if our time
- 36:05is running short, we can
- 36:06ask them to do just
- 36:07one exercise instead of three.
- 36:09So thank you, you guys,
- 36:11for joining us in this
- 36:12exercise.
- 36:13Yes. Let's go to the
- 36:14next one.
- 36:17Yes.
- 36:18And for some slides,
- 36:19we'll actually show them that,
- 36:23we can take a pause.
- 36:24Yes. It's actually like some
- 36:26stress management as well. Like,
- 36:27for this card, it's
- 36:29feeling stressed from study, so
- 36:31take a break
- 36:33for the next time.
- 36:35Yes. So in this one,
- 36:36we're actually
- 36:37suggesting that if you're having
- 36:39some,
- 36:40stress at the moment, you
- 36:42can actually
- 36:43you don't need to, like,
- 36:44keep on going. You can
- 36:45actually take a break and
- 36:47tend to do some walks,
- 36:49a a walk,
- 36:50or having a coffee break,
- 36:52etcetera,
- 36:52or even do
- 36:54the the tips you guys
- 36:55have shown me just now.
- 36:57Yes. Oh, and for further
- 36:59studies and
- 37:00work, this path is actually
- 37:02a bit special because for
- 37:04every two cards or four
- 37:06cards you have drawn,
- 37:07and the next round, you
- 37:09actually just go one step
- 37:11forward.
- 37:12And if you get six
- 37:13cards
- 37:16for that for that for
- 37:18that stack of cards, and
- 37:19then you can actually move
- 37:21one one more step forward,
- 37:22an extra step forward in
- 37:24the next round.
- 37:25Yes. So next slide, please.
- 37:29Yes.
- 37:30So here,
- 37:31you can share some,
- 37:34ideas about, like, what institution
- 37:36offering some short courses and
- 37:38ways to apply. So this
- 37:40is actually we want to
- 37:41utilize
- 37:41the resources
- 37:43in our community.
- 37:44So we ask them, like,
- 37:45what kind of resources we
- 37:47have. And then in Hong
- 37:48Kong, we have
- 37:50a
- 37:52we call it employee return
- 37:55training
- 37:56board. In short, we call
- 37:57ERB. And then we it's
- 37:58actually, like, targeting
- 38:00assisting our, like, different employees
- 38:03in Hong Kong to enter
- 38:05back to the employment markets,
- 38:07and then they can learn
- 38:08different courses.
- 38:10Like, for examples, like pet
- 38:12grooming
- 38:13or being a rehabilitation
- 38:15assistance
- 38:16or doing,
- 38:18nail and makeup artist as
- 38:20well. So, actually, when you
- 38:22if you're about
- 38:23fifteen and then you're some,
- 38:26courses would be, like, asking
- 38:28for
- 38:28a middle aged woman or
- 38:30different kind of,
- 38:33how you say, inclusion criteria.
- 38:34So if you fit the
- 38:36criteria, you can join that
- 38:37courses. And sometimes they will
- 38:39have some,
- 38:40course rebatements
- 38:41or, like, reimbursement
- 38:43for that as well.
- 38:44Yes. We can go to
- 38:45the next slides.
- 38:48Yes. So after studies
- 38:49so this one, I want
- 38:50to ask you guys as
- 38:51well. You can type your,
- 38:53answers or your comp your
- 38:55advisers in the comments because
- 38:57this is a very common
- 38:59questions from our,
- 39:01members.
- 39:01That's when they go find
- 39:03a job or having in
- 39:04job interviews, and they will
- 39:06be asked about their employment
- 39:08gaps. So how would you
- 39:10response?
- 39:11It would be great to
- 39:12have different responses from all
- 39:14around the world.
- 39:15Oh, took a break from
- 39:17work to focus on studies
- 39:18full time. Yes.
- 39:21That's a good answer as
- 39:22well.
- 39:31Oh, set up more education
- 39:33opportunities.
- 39:35Yes.
- 39:37Yes. Sometimes our
- 39:39users like, be honest. Yes.
- 39:41Yes. Sometimes we we would
- 39:43like to ask if they
- 39:44want to be honest about
- 39:45their mental states or, like,
- 39:48their backgrounds as well, about
- 39:49their lived experience, if they
- 39:50want to
- 39:51share with
- 39:53others. Yes.
- 39:54Oh,
- 39:56yes. And we talk about
- 39:57their own
- 39:59experience.
- 40:00Yes. So be honest as
- 40:02well. Yes. I think that's
- 40:03about the rights
- 40:04in our
- 40:06our citizenship
- 40:07because, like, it's a right
- 40:09they can share their
- 40:11their mental their history
- 40:13with their employees as well.
- 40:15Yes. And it's also their
- 40:17rights to not disclose with
- 40:19them. Yes. So thank you
- 40:20for your guys,
- 40:22for your suggestions.
- 40:24And the next slides
- 40:26yes. So this is about
- 40:27life sharing experiences.
- 40:29So we hope to have
- 40:30some past experience
- 40:32sharing from them as well.
- 40:34Yes. So next slide, please.
- 40:38Yes.
- 40:39Next.
- 40:41Yes. So now oh, yeah.
- 40:42We have passed the,
- 40:45just now we have passed
- 40:46the,
- 40:47the work
- 40:48path, and then we can
- 40:49go to either marriage life
- 40:51or, like, daily life as
- 40:52well. So now we first
- 40:53go to the marriage life
- 40:55as well. So just now
- 40:56as Erin talked about in
- 40:58the previously,
- 40:59like, the marriage life is
- 41:01from our,
- 41:02caregivers, and they share their
- 41:04voices and then their experience
- 41:05as well. So this one
- 41:06is about, like, your son
- 41:08seems to lack interest in
- 41:10everything. So how can you
- 41:11help them? So we ask
- 41:13them to share their own
- 41:14experiences
- 41:15and then as as well
- 41:16as very good at sharing
- 41:18is the key, and then
- 41:19they can listen to different
- 41:21people's
- 41:22stories or their methods as
- 41:24well so that they can
- 41:25gain some insights as well.
- 41:27Yes. So next slides.
- 41:30Yes. So in the daily
- 41:32life part, we're actually, some
- 41:34cards,
- 41:35we will
- 41:36encourage them to have, like,
- 41:39having exercise for this one.
- 41:41So it's actually engaging in
- 41:43moderate exercise daily for a
- 41:45healthy body mind, and then
- 41:47they can take two steps
- 41:48forward.
- 41:49And then this is actually
- 41:50to promote
- 41:51some healthy alternatives that they
- 41:53can do exercise
- 41:54as well as good for
- 41:56their bodies. Yes. And next
- 41:58slides.
- 42:00Yes. And this one is
- 42:01about, like, if you have
- 42:02gained you realize you have
- 42:04gained thirty pounds, and then
- 42:05you can ask two players
- 42:07to share their insights and
- 42:08tips and and weight management.
- 42:10Yes. Next slides.
- 42:13Yes. So now we're at
- 42:15the last leg of our
- 42:16path.
- 42:17So now we're at the
- 42:18rainbow path. And if we
- 42:20can choose just one path,
- 42:22like, we have work, daily
- 42:24lives, and further studies, so
- 42:26you can stay in that
- 42:27path and then go through
- 42:28to the end of a
- 42:30road, of a journey. And
- 42:32you can see on the
- 42:33board game that if you
- 42:35join the citizenship
- 42:37project, you can have one
- 42:38more chance to toss the
- 42:40dice. And then if you
- 42:41have finished this at c
- 42:43e
- 42:44CEF,
- 42:45I'll I'll explain what CEF
- 42:47is. CEF CEF is the
- 42:49in long in Hong Kong.
- 42:51It's called the continuing
- 42:53education fund.
- 42:55It's actually, like, from our
- 42:56governments that,
- 42:59for every Hong Kong citizens
- 43:01age about
- 43:02eighteen without any upper
- 43:04age limit, and then they
- 43:05can receive a
- 43:07sum of money
- 43:08to take different courses
- 43:11in during their lives. They
- 43:12can take it, like, in
- 43:13one go or take it
- 43:15different times as well, like,
- 43:16split it into a few.
- 43:17So it's actually, like, our
- 43:18government
- 43:20encourage us to have continuous
- 43:21education
- 43:22even after your studies. So
- 43:25I think so for this
- 43:27one, like, we especially put
- 43:28this in our board games
- 43:30is to encourage them to
- 43:31have continued
- 43:33education
- 43:34even
- 43:35for now, like, even when
- 43:36they're unemployed
- 43:37or in different
- 43:39points of their lives. So
- 43:40this one, if she
- 43:42if the person, like, step
- 43:44into
- 43:45that,
- 43:47square, and then they can
- 43:48choose to end the game
- 43:50directly.
- 43:51Yes. So next slides.
- 43:55Yes. So here is the
- 43:56end of our journey. So
- 43:58at the end, like, if
- 44:00one player gets to the
- 44:01end and then we can
- 44:02do the calculation of our
- 44:04cards, so you can
- 44:06add all those numbers
- 44:08on
- 44:09the right
- 44:11lower corner.
- 44:12And then with the also
- 44:13the tokens that you have
- 44:14joined,
- 44:15like, participate with our other
- 44:17players during the friendship roads.
- 44:19So and then you can
- 44:21see who got the highest
- 44:22points, and then the highest
- 44:23points will win.
- 44:25So next slide.
- 44:28So here's some little tips
- 44:30about, like, our
- 44:32our
- 44:32our experience in hosting the
- 44:34games. So even in, for
- 44:36our board games, we have
- 44:37written, like, as for fifty
- 44:39minutes. But in our experience,
- 44:40it's actually take more than
- 44:42fifty minutes. It's actually around,
- 44:44like, two two hours or
- 44:46more.
- 44:47So here's a list of
- 44:48method, like, how we can
- 44:50finish it faster. Like,
- 44:52you can only
- 44:53you can
- 44:54choose to
- 44:56complete some tasks if you
- 44:57land on the colored squares
- 44:59instead of the white square,
- 45:01and then you can simplify
- 45:03the task. Like, just now,
- 45:04like, we only do one
- 45:05stretching as a side instead
- 45:06of three. But then I
- 45:08think you can also
- 45:10also weigh in, like, the
- 45:12pros about sharing because
- 45:15in our board games, we
- 45:16love we want them to
- 45:17share their experience, want them
- 45:19to share how they feel
- 45:21or some tips they have
- 45:23with other teammates.
- 45:24So you can see if
- 45:26you want to do it
- 45:27in one go for the
- 45:28whole board game or, like,
- 45:29in our research, we do
- 45:30it in four sections so
- 45:31we have plenty of times
- 45:32for them to share as
- 45:33well.
- 45:34Yes. So next slides.
- 45:39Yes. So this is a
- 45:40little demonstration
- 45:42and a taste of our
- 45:43board game. So if you're
- 45:44interested in it, so you
- 45:45can
- 45:47scan the QR code, or
- 45:48we have a link that
- 45:49will be sent in the
- 45:51chat box now. And then
- 45:52you can send us your
- 45:54request
- 45:55of if you want the
- 45:56board game to be sent
- 45:58to your country so that
- 45:59our board game can be
- 46:01shared all over the world.
- 46:03Yes. Next slide, please.
- 46:06Yes. So thank you very
- 46:07much for having us here
- 46:09tonight with you all to
- 46:10share our bookings from Hong
- 46:11Kong. So if you have
- 46:13any questions, you can feel
- 46:14free to ask us.
- 46:20Thank you so much to
- 46:21our presenters for sharing your
- 46:23insights and experiences.
- 46:25I think, this was a
- 46:26very good reminder about the
- 46:27power of play to build
- 46:29relationships and also develop that
- 46:31sense of belonging.
- 46:33So I'd love to open
- 46:34up the space for questions,
- 46:36reflections,
- 46:37or
- 46:37reactions. You can, raise your
- 46:39hand or just drop the
- 46:40questions in the chat.
- 46:55Thank you so much. I'm
- 46:57very curious to understand. So
- 46:59first of all, congratulations.
- 47:01So that was an excellent
- 47:03idea. It's amazing way to
- 47:05see,
- 47:06how you can use the
- 47:08the citizenship framework in so
- 47:10many different ways. And as
- 47:12soon as I saw
- 47:13the game, I I just
- 47:15fall in love, and I'm
- 47:16sure that, you know, you'll
- 47:17be using this here everywhere.
- 47:20But I have a question
- 47:21because it's really a very
- 47:23interesting tool to
- 47:25connect people.
- 47:27Right? So have been you
- 47:29seeing
- 47:33increase
- 47:34in, engagement
- 47:37between
- 47:39providers
- 47:40and
- 47:42users and also between users
- 47:45and how this game has
- 47:47been,
- 47:50sharing this
- 47:52powerful
- 47:52knowledge of each one
- 47:55has about life experience, what
- 47:58if you or however,
- 48:00to share on that space?
- 48:01Because there's several times in
- 48:03the game seems that open
- 48:04to
- 48:05a conversation
- 48:06and at that moment, you
- 48:08can share, you can learn,
- 48:09you can,
- 48:10co create this space and
- 48:12and grow together. So what
- 48:14you guys have been seeing
- 48:16in terms of
- 48:17increase,
- 48:19people stay
- 48:21calm and also find new
- 48:23ways, like, go to school
- 48:26through this opportunity that your
- 48:28government
- 48:29give to continue in their,
- 48:32recovery
- 48:33journey.
- 48:45I will see if Liana
- 48:47or Aaron wants
- 48:49to answer the questions.
- 48:51Have you experienced in playing
- 48:53with porkens without users as
- 48:54well?
- 49:05Actually, for for the,
- 49:08for the game at the
- 49:09beginning,
- 49:11it encourage people to speak
- 49:13up.
- 49:14And,
- 49:15actually, when they when they
- 49:17enjoy the game, any one
- 49:19of them can be the
- 49:20facilitators.
- 49:22So,
- 49:24we
- 49:25we actually,
- 49:27encourage them
- 49:29to to speak up and
- 49:31also to play.
- 49:35Yeah.
- 49:36I I I don't know
- 49:37if if I answered the
- 49:38questions
- 49:39or,
- 49:40if anyone wants to want
- 49:42to share as well.
- 49:44But I feel like,
- 49:46yeah, I we want to
- 49:48train everybody
- 49:49can be the facilitators.
- 49:51Yeah.
- 49:53So when they pick up
- 49:54the game, scan the code,
- 49:56they can play it by
- 49:57themselves. Like, they can use
- 50:00the video. They can use
- 50:01all the all the parts,
- 50:03all the all the cards,
- 50:05and then they can use
- 50:06it. And, yeah, that's it.
- 50:14Thank you. We have another
- 50:16question in the chat. I
- 50:17think Elizabeth is asking if
- 50:19the game was, developed through
- 50:21a participatory
- 50:22process.
- 50:31For the title or for
- 50:32the
- 50:33is it did you mention
- 50:35for the the title, the
- 50:37game title? The game just
- 50:38the game in general, whether
- 50:39it was developed through a
- 50:40participatory process.
- 50:43Yes. Yes.
- 50:45As we mentioned about the
- 50:46focus group,
- 50:47we,
- 50:48actually invite staff, invite,
- 50:52people with lived experience,
- 50:54family givers,
- 50:56everyone to join in, and,
- 50:59they share their stories to
- 51:01make the card games.
- 51:05Thank you.
- 51:06And then another question is,
- 51:08can you tell us about
- 51:09how you chose the title
- 51:10for the board games?
- 51:14Actually, we discussed among our
- 51:17staff and our, yeah, our
- 51:19friends,
- 51:20and they say, oh, what
- 51:21about on the way? Because
- 51:24you don't want to have
- 51:25the end of
- 51:27the of the journey.
- 51:28So we use, it's just
- 51:30lifelong process,
- 51:32as I have mentioned, like
- 51:34citizenship
- 51:35and also,
- 51:36recovery.
- 51:37So we use underway this
- 51:39work.
- 51:43And the next question,
- 51:45I was
- 51:46Elizabeth said I was particularly
- 51:48interested in the mass massage
- 51:50card. Can you explain how
- 51:51it works? Massage is so
- 51:52powerful, but touching each other
- 51:54is complicated.
- 52:00Do you want to share,
- 52:01like,
- 52:02Erin or Clarice? Yeah.
- 52:05I can do this, Sherry.
- 52:06With the massage card,
- 52:09as in the initial phase
- 52:10of the of working. So
- 52:12I can see that coming
- 52:13that it can be quite
- 52:14difficult with, like, touching each
- 52:16other when you're not close,
- 52:17actually.
- 52:18But then with the massage
- 52:20car, we actually, we'd
- 52:21the way we try to,
- 52:24the way we try to
- 52:25do it is just to
- 52:26buy just doing some really
- 52:27light massage. So for example,
- 52:30if I'm saying that I
- 52:31I have some kind of,
- 52:31like, pain in my arm
- 52:33and or or on my
- 52:34wrist, so maybe it would
- 52:35just lightly touch here.
- 52:37So that will do. So
- 52:38the the so don't have
- 52:40to as it hasn't doesn't
- 52:41have to be really, like,
- 52:42kind of a deep massage
- 52:43when you have to lie
- 52:44on the ground or something
- 52:45like that. No. It's just
- 52:46kind of, like,
- 52:48just helping each other to
- 52:49get more close,
- 52:51together. So,
- 52:53yeah.
- 52:55That's kind of the process
- 52:56how we can do that.
- 53:01And for the last question,
- 53:03it's asking whether you will
- 53:05be doing some ongoing research
- 53:07to evaluate
- 53:08the impact of the game
- 53:09in in the longer term?
- 53:13Actually, for the research part,
- 53:15currently, we are doing internally
- 53:16because,
- 53:17it's, developed right now, in
- 53:20in our agencies. So, therefore,
- 53:21we start to do the
- 53:22research internally first, and that's
- 53:24for our goal for the
- 53:25like, for
- 53:26this year at least. So
- 53:27we are aiming to do
- 53:29kind of a mini seminar
- 53:31or some kind of, like,
- 53:32sharing sharing session maybe in
- 53:34Hong Kong,
- 53:36maybe within the, occupational therapist
- 53:38association
- 53:39and also maybe with some
- 53:40of our other organizations, nonprofit
- 53:42organizations in Hong Kong to,
- 53:44kind of launch our board
- 53:45game to, our fellow,
- 53:48our,
- 53:49our friendly organizations.
- 53:51But in the long term,
- 53:53we are thinking about introducing
- 53:55the board game to the
- 53:56the other organizations,
- 53:57and then maybe we can
- 53:58carry out a facility to
- 53:59training for them as well
- 54:00so that maybe more people
- 54:02can, be trained into being
- 54:04the facilitator so that more
- 54:05organizations can be using this
- 54:07board game and, to talk
- 54:08about mental recovery. So in
- 54:10this way, maybe we can
- 54:11recruit a lot more participants
- 54:13and to do the research
- 54:14and also to evaluate long
- 54:15term impacts.
- 54:17Yeah. So it's kind of
- 54:18in the books right now.
- 54:19Yeah.
- 54:23Thank you so much again,
- 54:24everyone. We truly appreciate your
- 54:26input and engagement,
- 54:28and we'd like to stay
