《FAST Research Insight》第十三集 - 林枝衍博士講解心理社交健康的重要性

Abstract

除了金錢上的資助及藥物的提供，弱勢社群也需要心靈上的支援，令他們更自信地走向社區。理大紡織及服裝學系助理教授林枝衍博士推行「協同時裝設計」計劃，弱勢社群與紡織及服裝學系學生共同設計服裝，改善其心理質素。超過80%參與者的自我效能、自信及情緒管理能力均有顯著的改善，達到以設計過程去改變生命的目標，以新的角度欣賞自己! Apart from providing financial support and medications, the underprivileged groups also need psychological assistance to help them back to the community. Dr Jin Lam of the Institute of Textiles and Clothing (ITC) has implemented the “co-design” project to match the underprivileged groups with ITC students to design the fashion clothes together, with the aim of improving their psychological well-being during the process. Over 80% of participants have shown significant improvements in their self-efficacy, self-confidence and emotion management. They can change their destinies through the design process and learn to appreciate themselves from new perspectives !
