Peer Support Services in Hong Kong

Peer support connects people with shared lived experience for mutual understanding, practical ideas and companionship. It may take place in a facilitated group or informally; it is not professional assessment or treatment, and participants should be able to choose what they share.

The directory listings below are a starting point for enquiries, not endorsements or a guarantee of availability. Confirm current services, eligibility, fees and application details directly with each provider.

Two people listen and share with each other.

Common ways support is delivered

  • Facilitated groups

    A trained or experienced facilitator may guide sharing, discussion and mutual problem-solving among people with related experiences.

  • Informal connection

    Some groups focus on companionship and practical exchange rather than teaching or counselling.

  • Online or in-person meetings

    Format, moderation, privacy and access vary; participants should be able to choose what they share.

A guide to the process

What the process may involve

  1. 1Check who the group is for and whether it is moderated.
  2. 2Ask about confidentiality, online safety, accessibility and meeting language.
  3. 3Attend only if comfortable; clarify that personal stories do not replace professional advice.

Time and commitment

Peer groups may meet once or regularly, with no standard duration or commitment. Ask whether attendance is flexible and whether you can observe or try a meeting before joining.

Hong Kong service pathways

SWD lists peer support in disability District Support Centres and Integrated Community Centres for Mental Wellness; its agency-based mental-health peer service is a separate model. Ask which service the group belongs to, who moderates it, and whether you can approach it directly.

How it differs from related support

Peer support offers shared experience, not an authoritative eligibility or clinical decision. It can complement, but does not replace, professional advice where that is needed.

Points to consider

  • Ask who facilitates the group and what confidentiality expectations apply.
  • Check accessibility, language, meeting format and whether attendance is flexible.

Questions to ask a provider

  • Is the group for caregivers, young people or adults with lived experience?
  • What are the group's privacy and moderation rules?
  • Can I attend once before deciding whether to continue?

Frequently asked questions

How can I check Peer Support listing details?

Review the listed source, then contact the provider to confirm its current address, services, fees and capacity.

Does a listing mean a provider has an open place?

No. The directory is a starting point for enquiries and does not confirm that applications are open or capacity is available. Ask the provider directly about its current waiting time and application process.

Do I need a referral or meet specific eligibility rules?

Requirements depend on the service and funding scheme. Confirm assessment, referral documentation, age and other eligibility criteria with the provider or administering public body.

What should I do if information is incorrect or out of date?

Confirm the current details with the provider, then use the “Suggest a correction” link on its profile to submit a verifiable update for review.
