Gloria received her undergraduate training in Philosophy & Psychology and PhD training in Psychiatry from The University of Hong Kong. Her research aims to apply knowledge of these disciplines to improve wellbeing of people with mental health conditions, including dementia and psychosis, and preventive mental health in older people and young adults. She has been co-leading two large-scale preventive mental health programmes, JC JoyAge and LevelMind@JC, to co-develop with stakeholders models of effective community mental health prevention. Her previous government consultancy research has facilitated the routine provision of the Dementia Community Support Scheme, improving access to care and intervention for thousands of families living with dementia every year. These research projects have translated into over 130 international peer-reviewed journal papers, six book chapters, and two books. Beyond academic research, Gloria actively serves the community by advising NGOs and supporting professional/public education.
