Summary: Dr Hannah Sugarman is a psychologist from the U.K. working in Hong Kong. Mental health issues are on the rise and Hong Kong is no exception. Hannah shares her wisdom on a range of topics including mental health triggers and mindfulness practices. Hannah discusses the stigma surrounding mental health and how we can begin to overcome many myths and misconceptions. We discuss mental health first aid with a focus on suicide and how we can help others and our ourselves. There are many resources available for people who need support and Hannah and I touch on a few- both locally and internationally. There are many great ways to improve our mental health and Hannah makes several excellent suggestions that anyone can implement very easily.
