This is an understanding environment shared with others who can relate. Meetings are open and non-judgemental, and there is never any pressure to talk if you prefer to attend and listen.

  • Taking part in physical activity can improve mental health in many ways; better sleep, happier moods, managing stress, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts, improved self-esteem, and connection to the community, to name a few.

    Move Partners is a collaborative project between The New Normal and organisations, professionals, and athletes. We aim to reinforce the connection and the importance of moving to help support our mental health. We are striving to open up conversations and continue to encourage people to reflect on their relationship with exercise and their mental health. We know how important the emotional is alongside the physical.

    We aim to make fitness for mental health accessible in Hong Kong. Proceeds from these classes will go to helping The New Normal deliver free mental health and grief support in the Hong Kong community. Proceeds pay trainer Heinok and cover the rental of the space allowing us to offer these classes for free.

ABOUT OUR MEETINGS

Professional help might not be your thing. Perhaps you are looking for a cheaper, more relaxed alternative? Or maybe it would help to talk to others with similar experiences in life’s difficult moments.

The New Normal Charity has offered peer-to-peer support since we started in May 2018.

Our spaces are all free, open and non-judgemental. And of course, there is never any pressure to talk if you would prefer just to attend and listen.

Reach out, join a meeting or see how you can get involved.

Thank you for your continued support.
