Ms Janet ChanSenior Counsellor, SDSMs Po-Yi ChungSenior Counsellor, SDS

The Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) assesses an individual’s behaviour in conflict situations.

Understanding your conflict management style and possible alternatives helps overcome the fear, anger, and frustration which you are likely to feel in conflict and then leads to opportunities for constructive outcomes.

Aptitude tests are often used by employers in graduate recruitments to ensure that they have the required level of verbal and numerical ability. CRTB2, specifically, is designed to assess critical reasoning ability both verbal and numeric.

Mental Health First Aid Standard Course( Course fee : HK$75 )

This 12-hour course is designed to equip participants with knowledge and skills to help someone with an emergency mental health problem. The philosophy behind the course is that the risk of mental health crises, such as suicidal and self-harming actions, may be reduced with early intervention. If crises do arise, then mental health first aid action can be taken to reduce the harms. The MHFA course has been found to be effective at improving the course participants' knowledge of mental disorders, reducing stigma and increasing confidence in offering help.

The course teaches the symptoms, causes and evidence-based treatments for depression, anxiety disorders, psychosis and substance use disorder. It also addresses the helping process for situations like suicide, panic attack, recent traumatic experience, violence and overdosed. It has to be emphasized that completion of the course would not qualify the participant to be a counsellor, just as a conventional first aid course does not qualify someone to be a doctor or a nurse. Its role is to promote first aid - the initial help that is given before professional help is sought.

Participants of the 12-hour MHFA course will receive a course manual and also a certificate issued by the Mental Health Association of Hong Kong at the completion of the course.
