Have you ever woken in the middle of the night, your heart pounding as if it might jump out of your chest? Sitting on the edge of the bed, you take deep breaths and wait for it to pass? You notice more hair on your pillow but tell yourself it’s nothing. At lunchtime, your stomach churns again for no apparent reason, and you find you don’t even have the energy to join your colleagues for a meal. “I’ll be fine. It’s nothing serious.”

Sometimes our problems may seem trivial or we don’t know where to turn. These struggles often go unseen and can build up into something more severe. In our fast-paced urban lives, we often neglect our mental health, and when things deteriorate, seeking the right help becomes even more challenging.

This holiday season we are highlighting these “Unseen Struggles” by inviting our community members to share their story and raise awareness and funds for iACT.

From today you can donate to our Unseen Struggles appeal and every dollar will go to the iACT service. A donation of HK$375 can provide one free therapy session for someone in need. We do not need to face these invisible struggles alone.
