Mandala Drawing Experience
Sound Healing Night
Public Career Guidance Session
Yalom-Style Group Session for Migrant Mental Support

ASA established public-interest collaboration with a Beijing-based volunteer federation committee on cross-region lecture projects, service collaboration, and follow-up referral support.

Volunteer network

50+ volunteers across China, Australia, Canada, and France, with 500+ community members. In 2025, support was mainly networked and the long-term collaboration mechanism is still improving.

Stage conclusion

The core 2025 outcomes were legal-compliance setup, governance baseline, continuous pilot practice, and launch of a long-term content platform. This is the operating base for 2026 upgrades.
