"I am keen on promoting well-being in the community, advocating for human rights for all, and translating research into scalable practices. I have three intersecting lines of research. The first line of my research is on stigma and stigma reduction. I aim to understand the content and process underlying the stigma experience and to eradicate stigma. The second line is on mental health promotion. I am interested in developing evidence-based interventions to promote well-being and using technology to disseminate them. The third line is on personal recovery of mental illness, wherein people with lived experience are encouraged and empowered to live a satisfying, hopeful, and contributing life and pursue personally meaningful goals. Research of the Diversity and Well-being Lab (www.psy.cuhk.edu.hk/maklab) is driven by our mission to promote social inclusion and well-being for all. Besides research, I found StoryTaler說書人(www.facebook.com/storytaler.hk) together with people with lived experience, people with psychology background and the general public with the aims to reduce stigma and promote well-being through co-production and sharing of personal stories"
