Jockey Club Keen and Active Kids Project

In recent years, the demand for services for students with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in mainstream primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong has been continuously on the rise. In view of this, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust has been sponsoring the Jockey Club Keen and Active Kids Project since 2019. With the support of the Education Bureau, the Department of Psychology of the University of Hong Kong has joined hands with Caritas Hong Kong, Heep Hong Society, SAHK, Tung Wah Group of Hospitals and Hong Kong Young Women's Christian Association to implement the project.

The main objectives of the Project are to provide a series of scientific, theoretically based and systematic school-based training programmes and support services for students with ADHD, their parents and school personnel in mainstream schools in Hong Kong, and to establish a series of training resources to equip professional colleagues and the general public with the understanding and support for students with ADHD. The project has so far provided professional support services to more than 3,000 students with ADHD, and has been highly supported and valued by parents and school personnel.
