"Wellness Weekends" concludes successfully
The "Wellness Weekends" organised by the Narcotics Division (ND) of the Security Bureau, came to a successful close today (May 24) at Tsuen Wan Park. The event comprised three stops, with six family yoga workshops held in April and May at Kai Tak Station Square, Tamar Park and Tsuen Wan Park.
Through simple and enjoyable family yoga sessions, the event encouraged parents and children to stretch their bodies and minds together, develop healthy living habits, and strengthen family bonds through relaxed and positive interaction. It also promoted positive thinking and resilience, helping families build the strength to resist drug temptation in everyday life.
The venue was filled with a warm and lively atmosphere. In addition to the family yoga workshops, there were also the "Drug-free Camp" pop-up anti-drug game booth and a family AI photo booth, where participants could take photos with the anti-drug ambassadors, "Agent Don't" and "Agent Hope". Through games, photo-taking and interactive activities, participants learned about difference between healthy and harmful choices in an engaging and entertaining way, further reinforcing their awareness of the dangers of drugs.
Highlights of the "Wellness Weekends" have been uploaded to the ND's official accounts (narcotics.divisionhk) on Facebook and Instagram, where members of the public may revisit the event highlights.
