Dear Parents,

As in the ancient text of Vimalakirti Sutra《維摩詰經》has once put it very well: "My sickness comes from ignorance (delusion / illusory thoughts / afflictions)" 「從癡有愛則我病生」.  Centuries has passed, this old reference has found itself joined by the modern view of "What Consumes Your Mind, Controls Your Life", that psychological issues can never be taken as anything less important than that of physical issues.  

In no doubt that our boys are in their utmost important period of transcending their young minds into adulthood, and hence, as parents, we have to be able to promptly identify different variations of the mental development of our boys so that we can seek the right support and professional services for them in the early stage if necessary.  

Knowing that our kids are not the same as we are, and the world has gone through big changes that it is now definitely not the same world we have experienced when we were kids, our past ways of handling our own different variations of "growing pains" may not so be directly applicable anymore.  

In view of this, PTA is very honoured to have our distinguished old boy Dr. Henry CHEUNG to deliver our second parents education seminar of the year, on related psychiatric issues.

Please see below a short biography of our speaker Dr. Henry CHEUNG:

"Dr. Cheung graduated from La Salle College in 1987.  He was admitted into HKU after his A-Level exam.  Subsequent to obtaining his MBBS, he received training in the Department of Psychiatry of Castle Peak Hospital and University of Hong Kong.  He started his practice in 2015 and his major interest is ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder)."

親愛的家長：

家長講座「若與空王為弟子，莫教心病最難醫」

如《維摩詰經》所述：「從癡有愛則我病生」，這箴言與現今的流行心理學理論 "What Consumes Your Mind, Controls Your Life" 有著異曲同工之意。在中學時期，我們的兒子正經歷思想改變的重要階段;作為父母，定必明白現今孩子的成長過程和我們過去所經歷的有著天淵之別。為協助兒子的精神健康得以正常發展，我們必須學習有關的專業知識。有見及此，喇沙書院家長教師會邀請了舊生張漢奇醫生，為家長們講解有關精神健康的問題，詳情如下：
