Dear DBIS Families,
As a core part of our upcoming ‘Wellbeing Week’ (26th – 30th January), we are delighted to invite you to an event designed specifically for our parent community.
We will be hosting an expert Q&A panel on the topic ‘Growing Together: Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health Journey’.
Event Details
-
Date: Thursday 29th January 2026
-
Time: 8.30am – 9.30am
-
Location: The Globe, Main Campus

Who: Open to all DBIS parents (Early Years, Primary and Secondary)
We are incredibly privileged to be joined by four of Hong Kong’s leading practitioners in child and adolescent mental health:
-
Dr Rick Smith – Specialist Psychologist
-
Angela Watkins – Red Door Counselling
-
Dr Scarlett Mattoli – Psynamo
-
Dr Esther Wong – Sprout in Motion
This session is designed to be a practical, conversational deep-dive into the issues that matter most to our families. Rather than a formal lecture, the morning will be a guided Q&A exploring key themes such as:
-
Growing Resilience: Practical ways to help children bounce back from setbacks
-
Navigating Conflict: Strategies for calm, consistent parenting and healthy resolution
-
The Modern Mind: Managing the psychological impact of smartphones and social media
-
Academic Pressure: Balancing the drive for excellence with emotional wellbeing
At DBIS, we believe that promoting strong mental health and meaningful connection is a collaborative journey between school and home. We hope this workshop provides you with valuable insights and a supportive space to explore how we can best nurture our children’s growth together.
Please sign up here by Tuesday 27th January to secure your spot.
Kind regards,
Jessica Hickling
Head of Wellbeing
