香港臨床心理學博士協會就太古城母女墮樓雙重悲劇發表聲明

香港臨床心理學博士協會對2026年6月9日於太古城發生的母女相繼墮樓身亡事件深感哀痛與關切。事件中，一名12歲女童在目睹母親墮樓身亡後，於約10小時後同樣墮樓離世。此悲劇震撼社會，亦為家庭、校園及社區帶來沉重衝擊。

目睹親人突然離世，尤其屬自殺事件，對兒童及青少年而言屬極嚴重創傷經歷。倖存者可能出現強烈震驚、自責、內疚、羞愧、憤怒或無助感，並反覆思索「是否因自己而引發事件」。若未能獲得即時及持續的專業支援，創傷後壓力症（PTSD）、抑鬱、焦慮、複雜哀傷及自我傷害風險均可能顯著上升。

本會對失去妻女的父親及其家人致以最深切慰問，並呼籲親友、鄰里及相關部門主動提供長期及實際支援，協助其度過極為艱難的時期。

在重大創傷事件後，出現以下情緒與身心反應均屬常見且正常：
恐懼、震驚、悲傷、自責、失眠、惡夢、閃回畫面、專注困難或情緒波動。為促進心理及情緒復原，本會建議：

關顧基本需要：維持規律作息、充足睡眠及飲食，避免過度孤立自己。穩定生活節奏有助神經系統逐步回復平衡。

提供持續陪伴：對於目睹或直接受影響的兒童及青少年，需避免讓其長時間獨處。持續陪伴、主動聆聽及情緒確認極為重要。

減少媒體重複曝光：避免反覆觀看或轉發相關畫面及細節，尤其對兒童及已感情緒困擾人士。

容許情緒健康表達：透過對話、哭泣、書寫、祈禱或輕度運動表達情緒，而非壓抑或以酒精、藥物麻痺。

及早識別高危徵兆：如出現持續自責、絕望感、談及想與逝者「團聚」、自我傷害念頭或行為，應立即尋求專業介入。

本會同時呼籲學校、僱主及社區組織啟動危機支援機制，為學生、家長及員工提供安全空間及專業輔導，並建立持續跟進安排，而非僅限於事件發生初期的短暫評估。

若市民感到困擾或需要協助，請聯絡以下香港支援服務：

香港臨床心理學博士協會呼籲社會大眾，在面對這宗悲劇時，以同理心取代指責，以關懷取代揣測，並共同建立更完善的危機支援與預防網絡，守護每一位兒童、家庭及社區成員的心理健康。

Statement by the Hong Kong Association of Doctors in Clinical Psychology on the Taikoo Shing Tragedy

​

The Hong Kong Association of Doctors in Clinical Psychology expresses profound sorrow and concern regarding the tragic incident that occurred in Taikoo Shing on June 9, 2026, involving the loss of two lives from the same family. The event has deeply affected the family concerned, the school community, and the wider public.

The sudden and traumatic loss of a loved one—particularly in circumstances involving suicide—can have a profound psychological impact, especially on children and adolescents. Survivors often experience intense shock, grief, guilt, anger, helplessness, and self-blame. Without timely and sustained professional support, the risks of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, complicated grief, and self-harm may increase significantly.

The Association extends its deepest condolences to the bereaved family and urges relatives, friends, neighbors, and relevant authorities to provide proactive, continuous, and practical support during this extraordinarily difficult time.

Following a major traumatic event, it is common and normal to experience emotional and physical reactions such as fear, sadness, guilt, sleep disturbances, intrusive memories, difficulty concentrating, and mood fluctuations. To promote psychological and emotional recovery, the Association recommends:

Attend to basic needs: Maintain regular routines, adequate sleep, and proper nutrition. Avoid prolonged isolation. Stabilizing daily rhythms supports recovery.

Ensure continuous companionship: Individuals directly affected—especially children and adolescents—should receive close supervision, consistent presence, and emotional reassurance.

Limit repeated media exposure: Avoid repeatedly viewing or sharing distressing details, particularly for vulnerable individuals.

Allow healthy emotional expression: Encourage expressing feelings through conversation, writing, prayer, or light exercise rather than suppressing them or relying on alcohol or substances.

Identify warning signs early: Persistent hopelessness, intense self-blame, or thoughts of self-harm warrant immediate professional attention.

The Association calls upon schools, employers, and community organizations to activate crisis support measures, provide safe spaces for sharing, and ensure ongoing follow-up rather than short-term intervention only.

If members of the public feel distressed or require assistance, please contact the following support services in Hong Kong:

Government Mental Health Support Hotline: 18111 (24-hour emotional support service)
The Samaritan Befrienders Hong Kong: 2389 2222 (24-hour Chinese emotional support hotline)
Social Welfare Department 24-hour Hotline: 2343 2255 (After-office hours are seamlessly transferred to emergency social worker support)
The Hong Kong Association of Doctors in Clinical Psychology urges the community to respond with empathy and solidarity, and to strengthen collective efforts in crisis support and suicide prevention to safeguard mental well-being.
