The New Normal Charity Hong Kong, which offers free peer-to-peer mental health support, has organised a hike along the iconic Dragon’s Back
Hong Kong’s suicide statistics paint a depressing picture. Last year, the city recorded 1,138 suicides, the highest number since 2003. That, on average, is about 3.12 suicide deaths per day, and was a 4 per cent rise from 2023 figures.
Called “Dragon’s Back, Heart’s Journey”, the hike is about remembering those who have lost their lives to suicide, while supporting survivors.
Jess Hulton, founder of The New Normal Charity Hong Kong, says the Dragon’s Back perfectly represents the ups and downs of life.
