This cross-border session brings together three applied research pioneers from CUHK and Taiwan-based academics and social innovators to explore people-centred social innovations advancing mental well-being. CUHK speakers will share interdisciplinary initiatives spanning tech-assisted autism care, creative media literacy for youth, and community-driven ADHD support. Reflecting the SEWF25 theme – PEOPLE, these cases highlight CUHK’s commitment to knowledge transfer and youth empowerment.
