Sharing and Learning Experiences through Book Publication

Apart from direct social services, HKCS strongly believes that sharing experiences among different practitioners in related fields through books and publications is equally significant. Therefore, we encourage practitioners, lecturers and professionals other than our own to share their views, invaluable experiences and expertise through publishing books at our in-house publication unit.

We had a fruitful year in 2003-2004, when four books were published at our in-house facility. The subject matters of those books cover the areas on media education, stress management, drug abuse and social work supervision. "Bringing Media into Classroom - A Sharing on Lesson Plans and Teaching Experiences"One of the joint projects on those books was a partnership with the Radio Television Hong Kong and Hong Kong Media Education Association in publishing a book titled, "Bringing Media into Classroom - A Sharing on Lesson Plans and Teaching Experiences", an advocate for media education in schools.

"Relaxation Exercises (Child Edition)"Another joint project was one with the Hong Kong Psychological Society, Division of Clinical Psychology, a booklet with a CD titled, "Relaxation Exercises (Child Edition)". It is an instructional book that teaches parents methods and ways in handling and reducing stress that their children are experiencing.

"SA Challenges: Demystification of the Myths of Substance Abuse" The book "SA Challenges: Demystification of the Myths of Substance Abuse" is a collection of field experiences from our colleagues in handling drug abuse cases. Another book is "Social Work Supervision–Theory, Practice and Reflections", written by two experienced social workers, who are also university lecturers. "Social Work Supervision–Theory, Practice and Reflections"It is encouraging to see this book published as it is truly the first in its kind written in local context.

Over the years, we have successfully published more than 90 volumes of books that touch a variety of subjects including children development, parenting, health, and concerns on elders, youths and social issues. Our books are distributed through some of the most popular local bookstores hoping to serve a greater number of people in the community.
