The global counselling conference returns to Hong Kong on 28 September 2023, in-person.
Join us!
National Counselling & Psychotherapy Conference is a global event held annually in Singapore, Australia, UK and Hong Kong. A gathering of the best minds in the industry. Learn from leading counselling, psychotherapy and mental health experts. Interact with industry practitioners and like-minded professionals.
Only at #NCPC Asia 2023, an in-person event in Hong Kong.
AND WE’RE BACK!
This time in full-force as National Counselling & Psychotherapy Conference 2023 will be in-person in Hong Kong for our 5th annual edition. Yes, it has been five years and the last time NCPC Asia was held live in Hong Kong was in 2019. For the last four years, we’re proud to say that the conference has been a success with a great turnout of attendees plus glowing reviews on for our past speakers and topics. Just like our recently concluded NCPC Asia 2022 held in Singapore. We would love to bring the same energy and high calibre learning experience to Hong Kong especially with full hopes that the worst of the pandemic is well behind us. It is time to rise stronger together! #NCPC-HK
MENTAL HEALTH & HONG KONG
It is undeniable that Hong Kong has gone through a lot in the past few years. The unprecedented social unrest, the global pandemic, gathering restrictions and isolation orders have all taken a toll on the people’s physical, emotional and mental health. Studies have shown that of those affected with a mental health disorder, three-quarters will not seek professional help. Many will continue to suffer in silence as a result of stigma – feelings of shame, lack of awareness about their condition, and a shortage of accessible professional help. Our own counsellors and therapists were also not exempted from the mental health predicament. Feeling overworked and uncertain during the pandemic, some have been driven to the brink of burnout. But with every cloud came a silver lining and a lot have rebounded from the crisis. Hence in this conference, we aim to shed light on various pressing issues that will help with the counselling and mental health practice. Most importantly, it is also to set aside a day to gather and learn together – celebrate the milestones achieved through the pandemic as we all move forward to brighter times ahead. It is about time we RISE STRONGER TOGETHER.
WHAT’S NEW FOR
NCPC HONG KONG 2023?
