On June 24, 2025, Dr. Arita Chan, Senior Lecturer II in the Department of Psychology, published an article in Ming Pao exploring practical techniques for managing stress among prospective teachers. Drawing on her collaborative work with Dr. Wang Hui from EdUHK’s Department of Special Education and Counselling, a research team from McGill University, and with the support of the WYNG Foundation, Dr. Chan developed the Promoting Educational Excellence Through Resilience To Stress programme (PEERS). This initiative aims to enhance stress management skills and support the psychological well-being of new teachers in Hong Kong.
The article shares several effective strategies from the PEERS programme, offering valuable guidance for coping with the pressures of the teaching profession. To learn more about Dr. Chan’s research and recommendations, you can read the full article here.
