滿珍紀念書院心理健康推廣社區服務計劃：《白夜》微電影學校巡迴放映會 – 澳門培正中學
On 12 April 2024, Moon Chun Memorial College, University of Macau (UM) held a school tour screening of the short film “The Invisible Self” at Pui Ching Secondary School to arouse everyone’s attention to mental health and encourage everyone to care about the people around them. After the film screening, the production team held a post-screening discussion with 160 senior high students. The short film producer, Ms. Alice Hong (Resident Fellow of Moon Chun Memorial College), and the director, Mr. Steven U shared the background of short film creation and short film shooting experiences with students. Mr. Henry Lao, Clinical Supervisor of UM Department of Psychology, shared some psychological knowledge with the students. College student, Jason Zhang shared his own experience on how to support friends in need of emotional support through appropriate companionship. The production team and students exchanged views on the creation of short film scripts, short film shooting techniques, and how to seek help when encountering mental health problems. Finally, Vice Principal, Mr. Chan Keng Lim shared with the students the meaning behind the screening. He hoped that students will understand that there are ups and downs in life, and they should learn to allow themselves to be imperfect, and seek help from trustworthy people when encountering problems.
“I feel a bit like the main character in the short film, looking lively and cheerful, but sometimes I am unhappy due to the influence of my studies, friends and family, and I habitually suppress negative emotions. For me, having someone trustworthy to talk to is a useful way to relieve emotions.” – Lo Tin Ut (Student)
“This is a very good film that made me reflect on the different aspects of oneself. Sometimes I present myself as an extrovert, and sometimes I present myself as introvert. In any case, the most important thing is that we accept every aspect of ourselves, including our happy self, unhappy self, and even angry self.” – Hong Weng Lam (Student)
“This short film conveys a good message to students, letting them know that they are not alone in life. When you or those around you encounter psychological problems, as long as you bravely take the first step to seek help, you can gradually get out of the haze.” – Mak Chi Kei (Teacher)

「我覺得自己有點像微電影中的女主角，外表活潑開朗，但有時也會受到學業、朋友及家庭影響而不開心，習慣性地壓抑負面的情緒。對我來說，找值得信賴的人去傾訴是一個緩解情緒的有效方法。」 – 羅天悅同學
「這是一部很好的影片，讓我反思到每一個人都有不同面向的自己。我有時會呈現外向的自己，有時會呈現內向的自己。無論如何，最重要的是我們要接受每一個面向的自己，包括開心的自己、不開心的自己、甚至是憤怒的自己。」 – 熊穎琳同學
「這部微電影傳達了一個很好的訊息給學生，讓他們知道在人生之中自己不是單打獨鬥的。當自己或身邊人遇到心理上的問題，只要勇敢踏出第一步尋求協助，就可以逐漸走出陰霾。」- 麥芷琪老師
