WELCOME TO APSS Student Conference 2025
Welcome to the Department of Applied Social Sciences (APSS) Student Conference May 23rd, 2025, at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Nurturing the Strength in the Face of Adversity
In a complex and rapidly changing world, individuals often find themselves grappling with a myriad of challenges and uncertainties, which can evoke fear and anxiety due to a lack of understanding and guidance. This conference endeavours to shed light on two critical aspects: (a) understanding the antecedents of different types of adversity and (b) promoting effective interventions to facilitate change and navigate through these adversities. By merging theory and practice, we aim to bridge the gap between understanding the antecedents of adversity and implementing effective interventions, ultimately empowering individuals to navigate challenges with resilience and create positive change in their personal lives and communities. We look forward to you joining us and contributing to this important discussion!
