MINDSET's goal is to make a difference in the area of mental health. It aims to change people's attitudes by raising awareness and understanding of mental health issues, as well as providing direct assistance for individuals, families and organisations in need of help. MINDSET is a registered charity in Hong Kong established by the Jardine Matheson Group in 2002 and led by the Jardine Ambassadors, a group of young executive volunteers from Jardines.

MINDSET's current initiatives are focused on the following areas:

• Education and Prevention - to raise awareness of mental health issues among young people through the in-school 'Health in Mind' programme, co-organised with the Hospital Authority. The programme currently covers 28 secondary schools;
• Reintegration - to promote reintegration of people in recovery through a job training programme within Jardine Matheson Group companies to enhance their work skills and facilitate their transition in seeking long-term employment, as well as taking an active role in their participation of events where the individuals' talent and expression can be encouraged through activities such as sports days, talent shows and volunteering;
• Community Awareness and Fund Raising - to promote community awareness of mental health related issues, and to raise funds with the aim of providing direct support services for the mentally ill, their carers and their families;
• Promotion at Group Companies - to enhance awareness about MINDSET and mental health within the Group companies through e-newsletter, social media outlet and workshops; and
• Financial Support - to provide funding support to mental health projects that benefit individuals who suffer from a mental illness, their carers and their families; examples include the 'MINDSET Expression' art project which allow the people recovering from mental illness to express themselves through different themed art activities; and the setting up of a home called MINDSET Place for people with chronic mental illness to assist them in reintegrating into society.

Beneficiaries of volunteer work and financial support provided by MINDSET include a range of NGOs and Government agencies that are active in the mental health sector.
