Where did they get the numbers (why mental health)

Can you also include these three scientific papers in the call for the groups interested in us?
Please also add in this FB link. https://www.facebook.com/popelabltd. So this is a collaboration
between Unilab Foundation and my lab housed in University of Macau and The Education
University of Hong Kong.

As discussed with Lilibeth, this is a 2-way street so I also want to let them see the advantages of
working with us.
1. Supervision and writing scientific papers with international academics
2. Provision of data for them to analyze that is already cleaned and organized - this will save
them 2-4 weeks of work

Please make sure you provide "impressive" introductions for Dr. Ronnel (research expertise in
Singapore and hongkong) as we need to "sell" this project, hence the emphasis to work with the
leading Positive Education organization in Hongkong. And their (students) contribution to make
a difference in scaling our mental health advocacy..

Professor at the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, The Education University of Hong
