�AXA Light Up Your Mind Programme� New online learning platform to support mental wellness of primary students

HONG KONG,
CHINA -�Media OutReach�-
21 October 2020 - AXA Hong Kong and St.
James' Settlement joined hands to launch the 'AXA Light Up Your Mind Programme'
in 2018 to enhance the mental wellness of underprivileged primary students (P.4
- P.6). The programme has enabled students to learn about mental wellness,
emotions and diet, and smart wealth management through interactive games to
achieve a healthy and balanced development. Since launch, it has served close
to 400 students from 20 primary schools. As online learning becomes a key
learning model under COVID, AXA Hong Kong has further developed the 'AXA Light
Up Your Mind Programme' into an online learning platform, expanding its support
to all primary students in Hong Kong.

The 'AXA Light Up Your Mind Programme' online
learning platform (https://axalightupyourmind.com,
available in Chinese only) provides students with useful video resources
(e.g. understanding stress, stress-relieving activities and breathing
exercises, know your food and money management) and interesting educational
games (e.g. happy run, stress-reduction rabbit etc.). It also offers teachers
rich resources to take reference from when conducting classes relating to
mental wellness.

Not only
does the online learning platform provide students with useful video resources
(e.g. understanding stress, stress-relieving activities and breathing
exercises, know your food and money management) and interesting educational
games (e.g. happy run, stress-reduction rabbit etc.), it also offers teachers
rich resources to take reference from when conducting classes relating to
mental wellness.

Ms Andrea Wong, Chief Corporate Responsibility
Officer, AXA Hong Kong and Macau
, said, 'Good mental health is important for everyone. According to the
survey conducted by St. James' Settlement in June, 76% of senior primary
students were stressed about class resumption[1]. It
is crucial to help students understand their emotions and learn about healthy
stress management early, so that they are well equipped to handle different
challenges as they grow up. We are grateful for our partnership with St. James'
Settlement to bring the 'AXA Light Up Your Mind Programme' to students in Hong
Kong. It is encouraging to see the positive feedback from participants of the
programme in the past two years and we are excited to expand this programme
into an online learning platform, so that both students and teachers can have
easy access to useful learning resources about mental, physical and even
financial wellness, which are all key to a balanced development of primary
students.'�
