Joining hands with uBuddies and uShine, uPals aims to promote mental wellness and provide peer support through fun and engaging service projects in English so that non Cantonese-speaking students will also benefit. uPals implements various wellness projects on campus, such as organizing Mindful Yoga Classes, Expressive Arts Workshops, and Healing Trips, whilst continuously promoting mental health on Instagram. All training will be conducted in English.
