Abstract:
The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is a framework endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to measure the health condition of individuals as well as on a population level. The ICF consists of four components : Body Functioning, Activities and Participation, Environmental Factors and Personal Factors. A coding system is adopted in the above components (except for Personal factors) to describe an individual’s functioning and disability in a comprehensive and systematic manner, establishing common language for healthcare professionals and social workers to communicate and document health and functioning of service users.
This workshop will explore more in-depth the coding system behind each component and adopt it as an instrument to conduct categorial profiles. Participants are recommended to have basic understanding on ICF theoretical framework.

Workshop III: Cultivating Self-Acceptance in Chronic Illness: Application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Psychoeducation
Date and Time: 18 January, 2024, 16:00 – 17:30 (90 minutes)
Venue: Lee Shau Kei Lecture Centre, The University of Hong Kong (Room to be confirmed)
Language: Cantonese
Abstract:
Chronic illnesses often bring unavoidable and irreversible psychological experiences, such as thoughts, emotions, and sensations. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an emerging and effective intervention that helps patients and their families cope with these inevitable and unchangeable aspects. Since 2020, the Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation has introduced ACT through the “Just ACT!” Movement, developing it into a patented and trademarked service known as the Chinese ACTivate Your Life (C-AYL)® Program. This program offers multiple delivery modes and a standardized train-the-trainers protocol, making the service widely accessible and beneficial to many.
This workshop will focus on designing ACT-based psychoeducational activities tailored to participants’ needs and the nature and context of the programmes. It will provide detailed explanations, demonstrations, and practice of three key ACT techniques: Metaphor, Experiential Exercise, and Mindfulness. Additionally, the workshop will share insights on the application of ACT in psychoeducation, highlighting important considerations, common challenges, and corresponding strategies.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have an understanding of how to integrate ACT into psychoeducational activities, enhancing their ability to support individuals with chronic illnesses in cultivating self-acceptance and improving their overall well-being.

Date and Time: 18 January, 2024, 16:00 – 17:30 (90 minutes)
Venue: Lee Shau Kei Lecture Centre, The University of Hong Kong (Room to be confirmed)
Language: English
Abstract:
Evidence shows that multimodal rehabilitation has positive outcomes for persons with chronic pain, which requires collaborative teamwork. This is typically seen in pain clinics in tertiary settings, where pharmacist, doctor, therapists, psychologists and others, work together with the clients towards common goals, using similar terminology. However, many clients with chronic pain cannot access these specialist pain clinics but will look for community level solutions. While primary health care is increasingly offering multidisciplinary services, it is unclear whether they are moving towards a collaborative approach for chronic pain or continue to work in professional silos.
This workshop will raise the challenges and potential solutions for efficient service delivery using a collaborative team approach. Speakers from Hong Kong and overseas will share their practice focusing on the management elements. In addition, participants and speakers will debate a case scenario developed from client experiences, aiming to highlight our personal awareness of the significance of enhancing service delivery.
