After working for more than 10 years teaching individual and family work, I lost my direction as I saw the widening gap between practitioners and users, and our disempowering clinical practice. The narrative ideas, thoughts, with its philosophy help solve my puzzles as it is an approach that closely examines the impact of the dominant discourse and power on persons.  I hope that more can be done in Hong Kong to promote indigenous narrative practice.

I have finished the international post-graduate diploma in narrative therapy organised by Dulwich Centre in 2003. This was a fascinating experience and I have continued my narrative practice in both community contexts (such as working with people who have been suffering from mental illness and other marginalised groups), educational contexts (narrative training and narrative supervision) and therapeutic contexts (having interviews with various people). So, I would like to link with other practitioners in relation to all these aspects.

I am a social worker here in Hong Kong within a service for families who have experiences in domestic violence. Through my post-graduate studies and social work practice in youth services, I have now been using narrative practice for several years. In my work in youth services, narrative practice enlightened me to be aware of dominant social discourses that affect young people's understandings and the ways they search for meaning in life. Now I wish to communicate with practitioners with different backgrounds to exchange ideas about narrative practice in order to better support families and adolescents suffering from domestic violence and also from oppressive discourses about 'healthy' families.

I have my narrative practice in group work practice since my placement of my master degree in social work in CUHK in 2005. I have conducted three narrative groups in HK with rheumatic adolescents/parents, chronic illness persons, and children with body fitness problems and also their parents.
