Inspiring Hope for Living 

Live On! is an intervention programme designed in collaboration with the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) and selected structured hospitals for youths who are recently discharged.  

For youth experiencing suicidal thoughts and/or have recently attempted suicide, our multidisciplinary team of professionals is ready to provide prompt and continuous support to help them overcome challenges.  

Affected individuals will also learn how to de-escalate their intense emotions through individual counselling. Steps will also be taken to strengthen support from their family members through the family counselling sessions. 

This programme is currently in a three-year pilot phase from 2022 to 2025.
