It is my distinct honor to extend a heartfelt congratulations to the Hong Kong Association of Doctors in Clinical Psychology (HKADCP) on its twelfth anniversary.
For twelve years, you have served individuals, couples, families, and the communities and made a significant impact to the health and well-being of Hong Kong. By establishing and maintaining only the highest standards of practice, you are continuing to bring excellence not only to the field but to the communities in which you all serve. That is an impact that will have long lasting effects we can only dream of measuring today.
In our ever increasingly challenging and uncertain times, people look to their leaders. They look to psychologists for our science, for our applications and practices, and for us to advocate. Not only have you been those leaders for the past twelve years, but you are currently inspiring the next generation of leaders in psychology.
So, along with this congratulatory message, I would like to share a message of hope. I hope to see your association grow more each and every year that we celebrate your anniversary. I also hope that your impact grows even greater with every year of your leadership. I hope that the communities you serve thrive each year. Lastly, I hope to be there to witness that amazing growth and impact and to congratulate you when you celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Hong Kong Association of Doctors in Clinical Psychology.
Again, congratulations and thank you for all that you do!
