聾人或弱聽人士，可以選擇用手語，和世界溝通。然而，他們的內心世界，除了家人和朋友，還有誰懂得聆聽？在香港，能用手語溝通的輔導心理學家，現時只有一位。劉紫蕾 Kloris，本是一個唸中文系的女生。從小喜歡手語，結識了一群聾人朋友，發現他們成長不易；加上自己走過情緒低谷，令她更關心聾人的心理支援。因緣際遇，她開始結合這些點滴，用七年時間，修讀三個碩士學位，成為香港的「第一」和 「唯一」。這個身份，她深信只是一個開始。Kloris 希望啟發大眾關注聾人或弱聽人士的心理健康；也希望將來有更多以手語為母語的人士，投身成為治療師或心理學家，用自己的語言，進入另一個聾人的世界。Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing people can use sign language to connect with the world – but who truly listens to their inner voice apart from their family and friends?In Hong Kong, there is only one Counselling Psychologist who can communicate directly in sign language.Kloris Lau didn’t start in Psychology – she studied Chinese Language & Literature, loved sign language from a young age, and became close to many Deaf friends. Seeing their struggles and going through her own emotional lows, she was inspired to offer better mental health support for the Deaf. Over seven years, she completed three master’s degrees and became Hong Kong’s first and only sign-language Counselling Psychologist.To Kloris, this is just the beginning. She hopes more people will care about the mental wellbeing of the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing, and that one day, more people who are native users of sign language will become therapists or psychologists – entering the world of Deaf individuals through their own language.-----------------------------------嘉賓簡介 – 劉紫蕾 Kloris Lau香港現時唯一以手語為聾/弱聽人士提供服務的輔導心理學家，一方面在前線服務聾人，另一方面亦在中大手語及聾人研究中心出任輔導心理學研究員，致力推動本港聾人輔導服務及研究發展。除此之外，亦於不同機構為家長及有特殊教育需要的學童提供輔導或支援服務。About the Guest – Kloris LauCurrently the only Counselling Psychologist in Hong Kong providing services in sign language for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals.

提起「社工」，很自然聯想起「幫人」。社工是怎樣幫人的？社工只幫情況嚴重的人嗎？
註冊社工黃曉楓 Wendy，過去二十年來，曾服務中度及嚴重 #智障人士 及其家庭、長者、#危機熱線 求助者、具有 #特殊教育需要 的幼兒及家長。她認為，助人的重點，從來不在於對方的情況有多困難，而是對方有多願意表達自己的情緒和處境，從而讓社工安排合適的支援。
Wendy一直與不同社群同行，因為她深信，不同群體的故事和需要，不靠近是看不到的。在助人與互動的過程裡，她感受到，服務對象如何也在與她同行；完成client離世前的心願，如何令其家人感到被陪伴；在幫不上忙時，如何學習尊重client的選擇。與人同行，令Wendy的社工工作充滿新鮮感，也令她感受到被人信任的福氣。
When we think of “social workers,” we naturally think of “helping people.” But what does that help actually look like? And is social work only for people in serious crisis?
Registered Social Worker Wendy Wong has spent the past 20 years supporting a wide range of individuals—people with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities and their families, elderly clients, crisis hotline callers, and young children with special educational needs (SEN) and their parents.
To her, the heart of helping is not about how difficult someone’s situation is, but whether they are willing to express what they’re going through. That’s when a social worker can step in with the right support.
Wendy walks closely with different communities because she believes that without getting close, you can't truly see people’s needs or stories. Along the way, she’s learned how those she supports also walk with her—how helping someone fulfill a final wish can bring comfort to grieving families; how respecting a client’s choice, even when nothing can be done, is still a form of care. Walking alongside others has kept Wendy’s work fresh and meaningful—and being trusted remains one of the greatest gifts in her journey.
