Can a brief guided nature walk reduce distress and improve resilience, mindful attention, and sleep quality? Evidence from a pilot study with two-week follow-up.

Despite trends of deteriorating mental health globally, help-seeking remains suboptimal. Identifying less stigmatising, low-cost, and scalable approaches to mental health care is critical. We investigated the acceptability and psychological benefits of a 30-minute guided nature walk programme in an accessible country park in Hong Kong among 100 community members.

Low-Intensity Online Intervention for Mental Distress Among Help-Seeking Young People in Hong Kong: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Mental health issues among young people are increasingly concerning. Conventional psychological interventions face challenges, including limited staffing, time commitment, and low completion rates.

Effects of mindfulness-based intervention in preventing relapse in patients with remitted psychosis: a randomized controlled trial.

Stress is a key factor in psychotic relapse, and mindfulness offers stress resilience and well-being benefits. This study examined the effects of mindfulness-based intervention for psychosis (MBI-p) in preventing relapse at 1 year among patients with remitted psychosis in Hong Kong. MBI-p is a newly developed manual-based mindfulness protocol and was tested to have improved well-being and clinical outcomes in a pilot study with remitted psychosis patients.

Reducing mental health distress and preventing depression in young people in the community: A multimethod observational study with a real-world and prospective 12-month controlled approach: mental health distress in community youths.

Community-based youth mental health (YMH) platforms are challenging to evaluate. Using a multi-method approach, we examined the efficacy of an integrated YMH program in Hong Kong. The real-world outcomes of 1047 participants were compared with a propensity score (PS) matched control group randomly selected from the community (study 1).
