5-Minus-1 Sensory Journey for Mental Health and Wellbeing of the Visually Impaired

December 21, 2022

Services

In collaboration with Hong Kong Blind Union, Zonta Club of Hong Kong East sponsored this service project to relieve stress and anxiety of those with visual impairment during the pandemic. A series of workshops were designed and executed with the assistance of tutors and volunteers through 4 types of therapies, i.e., aromatherapy (smell), singing bowels with meditation (hearing), pottery class (touch) and coffee art appreciation (taste), benefitting 22 visually impaired participants. At the closing ceremony cum sharing session attended by the beneficiaries with family and care takers as well as workshop tutors, staff and volunteers of Hong Kong Blind Union, many participants expressed there was improvement for their emotional stress and anxiety. They share how difficult for them to cope with as they often had to navigate through street traffic and pedestrians with eyesight challenge in order to go about their daily life with the Covid outbreaks causing them further emotional issues, such as feeling lonely, isolated, and even clinically depressed.
Zonta Club Hong Kong East is keen on helping the vulnerable to maintain general well-being, especially mental wellness. By recognising one’s moods and emotional needs, the visually impaired will learn to acquire soothing techniques via various therapies for self-discovery of new interests and life-long support for wellbeing.
