香港精神健康政策 - Mental health services for ADHDers
根據立法會2021年10月之研究報告顯示，於2019年至2020年，在醫管局兒童及青少年精神科門診的求診人數較過去十年增加1.62倍，達到4.03萬人次，其中有43%與ADHD有關。服務差距似乎愈來愈擴寬，證明使用公共精神專科服務的輪候人次持續增加。今次網上研討會所探討的焦點是：
- 目前為ADHDers提供心理健康支援所存在的問題
- 為ADHDers提供更好心理健康支援之可行措施
According to the Legislative Council research report in October 2021, the number of persons attending the Hospital Authority's child and adolescent psychiatric specialist outpatient clinics increased by 162% over the past decade to 40 300 in 2019-2020, with 43% relating to ADHD. The service gap seems to get wider as evidenced by the long waiting list for public psychiatrist service. This webinar aims to focus on
- the current issues of mental health support provision for ADHDers and
- possible actions to provide ADHDers with better mental health support"
