We are delighted to share that our Co-Director of Elder Mediation Development, Lizzie Chan, and HKMS Member, Beginla Yue Sze-Hung will be speaking at the Hong Kong Mediation Week 2026 Seminar on Elder Mediation — co-organised by the Department of Justice and Hong Kong Family Welfare Society.
Lizzie and Beginla will join the panel discussion “Conflict to Care: Experience Sharing on Mediation in Elder Disputes” (10:35–12:05), exploring how mediation can ease caregiving burdens, resolve financial and care-related conflicts, and empower elders in decision-making — all within a private, collaborative and people-centred environment.
With more than one-fifth of Hong Kong residents now aged 65 or above, and that proportion set to grow significantly in the decades ahead, the need for compassionate, culturally sensitive approaches to elder-related disputes has never been more urgent.
Elder mediation offers exactly that — preserving family bonds while navigating some of life’s most complex transitions.

敬請留意，本會長者調解發展聯席總監陳曉彤女士（Lizzie Chan），以及本會長者調解團隊之一余司虹女士（Beginla Yue Sze-Hung），將於「香港調解週2026」之「長者調解」專題研討會擔任講者。該活動由香港特別行政區政府律政司與香港家庭福利會攜手合辦。
📅 2026年5月6日 10:15–12:15

陳曉彤女士與余思虹女士將參與題為「由衝突至關懷：長者爭議調解經驗分享」（10:35–12:05）之專題討論，深入探討如何透過調解機制紓緩照顧壓力、化解財務及照護相關紛爭，並在保密、協作且以人為本之環境下，賦權長者參與決策，彰顯其自主尊嚴。
現時香港65歲或以上人口已逾總人口五分之一，且未來數十年間勢將顯著攀升。面對人口高齡化之趨勢，就長者相關爭議採取兼具同理心與文化敏感度之處理方式，實屬刻不容緩。
長者調解正提供此等契機——在應對人生複雜轉折之際，既能審慎處理紛爭，亦可維繫家庭情誼，保存親情連繫。
