Butterfly

Variety, The Children’s Charity, established in Hong Kong in 2015, is dedicated to empowering children & young adults in need to reach their potential through providing opportunities, support and community. Variety believes that each child is unique and, with proper nurturing and assistance in identifying opportunities, can dream big and go for it.

Variety and Mental Health

Variety established the Butterfly Program in 2016 to provide early assessment and interim treatment of children and adolescents with mental health problems from families who do not have the means to seek medical or psychiatric services outside the public health system. Since then, we have also added other programs to provide support and counseling and coping skills for families and carers, and we are undertaking an outreach program with schools and community health organizations in an effort to de-stigmatize mental health issues.
