The epidemic has increased mental stress. Some organizations conducted a survey earlier to explore the relationship between volunteers and creative thinking.

It was found that among the 445 volunteers interviewed, the more diversified their voluntary work, the higher their creativity.

In addition, the average mental health score of the interviewees is 62.6, which is higher than the 45.1 score obtained by the entire Hong Kong citizen in the "Hong Kong Mental Health Index" survey last year.

From February last year to February this year, the Baptist Aiqun Social Service Department interviewed 445 volunteers through online questionnaires to explore the relationship between voluntary work and creative thinking, and to understand the mental health of volunteers under the new crown epidemic.

In addition, the average mental health score of the volunteers interviewed was 62.6, which was roughly the same as the previous year's figure.
