Background

MeHeal (Mind and Body Healing) is one of the programmes developed by HELP for Domestic Workers in supporting our mission to empower migrant domestic workers to gain access to justice and receive fair as well as equal treatment in Hong Kong. Despite their key role in taking care of Hong Kong’s houses and families, 72% of them still suffer from symptoms of depression*.’MeHeal’ (Mind and Body Healing) is one of the programmes developed by HELP for domestic workers. Following our success in conducting MeHeal Yoga, HELP is looking for experienced instructors to volunteer with us and work closely with Migrant Domestic Workers to conduct physical well-being activities, such as Zumba dance / other dance classes. As one of the effective methods suggested by psychologists to break the vicious cycle of anxiety and depression is through physical activity.

What we have

A space to conduct the class and support on registration and attendance. We will provide a volunteer briefing as well.

Why this is important

Through physical activities classes, we are empowering Migrant Domestic Workers to be able to take better care of their own health. We hope that by having a healthier body, they can also have a healthier mind, lower the rate of depression symptoms, and be able to make sound decisions when faced with work related issues
