Walk with Love: Clinical Psychological Service for Children and Families

Mission

The Project aims at providing quality clinical psychological service for children and young people and their families. It provides evidence-based psychological assessment and psychotherapy to promote clients' mental health for fostering their all-rounded well-being. It also provides professional training and consultation for raising societal awareness towards mental health and parenting education.

What is clinical psychological service?

The clinical psychologists of the Project provide psychological assessment and intervention tailored to the client's needs and conditions, based on psychological theories, research evidence, and clinical judgment. If warranted, clinical psychologists will formulate a treatment plan collaboratively with the children and their families.

Why do children, young people, and their families need clinical psychological service?

Childhood and adolescence are critical stages of development, at which children and young people undergo enormous changes and challenges in physical, social, and psychological aspects. Some may succeed in going through these challenges, while some struggle.

Meanwhile, parenting can be joyful and at the same time challenging, especially for those who care for children and young people with socio-emotional difficulties.

Clinical psychologists will support those who are struggling to acquire adaptive socio-emotional skills and improve their communication with their parents. With the help, children will be empowered to overcome life challenges and manage their distress, hence a healthier family relationship will be built.
