Professional Training
Continuous learning is not uncommon among professionals who dedicate to their professions and missions, from those at managerial / supervisory positions to those devoted to frontline service. To keep themselves up-to-date and remain competent in the relevant fields, attending trainings from time to time could be one of the ways to patch themselves with the fast pacing world.
Our centre, UCEP, concerns with mental health issues, not only individuals but also for the public. To carry out our mission of promoting psychological well-being in Hong Kong, we are aware that steeping ourselves in the service itself would be too limited to attain the goal. A larger society with similar ideals should be involved. Therefore, we strive to provide quality trainings to professionals working the same directions, including psychologists, counsellors, social workers, medical practitioners, nurses as well as allied health professionals, to bring out the synergy effect for the betterment of our community.
