Agency Membership

We are so glad to join the big family of The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS). We believe that having quality emotional education can transform the communication culture in schools and families, and build better social welfare for everyone.
This recognition is encouraging for JUST FEEL – we will continue to work in partnership with schools to promote Compassionate Communication and Social Emotional Learning.
We are more than grateful for the generosity of the Keswick Foundation, and their support and encouragement for our 4-year “Building Compassionate Environment for the Digital Natives" project. Through the Foundation’s contribution, JUST FEEL is able to join hands with schools – providing support to teachers and parents, developing their knowledge and skills of Compassionate Communication, ultimately building better connections between teachers, students, and parents.
We believe that long-term strategies are essential to bring about systemic transformations, so here is our heartfelt gratitude to the Keswick Foundation for providing us with the necessary resources to continue to co-create with different schools, to transform the communication culture of schools and families.
