There us increased demand for our free peer support groups. We want to increase our number of groups and also launch men's mental health peer support groups in Hong Kong. We need support group hosts who are men or identify as a man. We will provide all necessary training and shadowing to ensure that hosts feel comfortable and confident.
What we have
Shadowing and training, management and scheduling of support group, and continuous support from our team to help you to develop your skills as a host. Subsidised extra training.
Why this is important
Launching meetings for men and increasing our peer support groups will allow us to reach more people in Hong Kong and make sure that no one feels alone, no matter what they are going through.

Causes
What we do
We provide free mental health peer support groups. Our groups are hosted by trained facilitators with lived experience. Peer-to-peer support is a format that The New Normal Charity has proudly adopted from inception. We feel that one of best forms of therapy is to talk to others with similar life experiences. We have been helping people through life’s difficult moments for over three years now- facilitating conversations between individuals who find themselves in very similar positions. Our mission is to make sure no one feels alone no matter what they are going through.
