KELY Support Group is a Hong Kong-based nonprofit organisation, founded in 1991 after a young person shared their experience of addiction publicly, that equips young people aged roughly 14 to 24 with skills, knowledge and opportunities to support themselves and each other. Its work focuses on mental health and wellbeing, and on addiction prevention, through school-based programmes and workshops, peer support groups, mental wellbeing classes, work placements and youth-led initiatives. KELY also runs public education and harm-reduction campaigns and advocates for youth-development policies. It serves Chinese- and English-speaking youth in Hong Kong, with a stated focus on young people from marginalised backgrounds, including ethnic minority youth. The organisation is governed by a volunteer board and is supported by donations, charity sales, event sponsorships and corporate partners.
