Jing Yuan Charity Foundation, in partnership with Chan Dang Social Services Foundation and Ho Cheung Shuk Yuen Charitable Foundation, sponsored the project “Elderly Emotion Support Service amid Epidemic” organized by Hong Kong Expressive Arts Therapy Service Center (HKEXAT). The project offered Expressive Arts Therapy to the elderly who faced emotional distress like anxiety or depression amid the COVID-19 epidemic. This provided an opportunity for the elderly to relieve their stress through art creation, or other non-verbal expressions.
HKEXAT held 16 workshops, with various themes of expressive art therapy, in elderly centres of The Salvation Army and other non-governmental organisations, covering different needs of stakeholders, like COVID-19-positive patients, caregivers and their families.
