Description

Reborn seekers with drug experience often face marginalization and negative labeling due to a lack of understanding from society. Traditional rehabilitation programs in Hong Kong limit former drug users' autonomy, leaving them struggling to integrate and make positive changes.

To empower these individuals, a Reborn Restorer Program is proposed. Participants form a team to transform old objects into practical and artistic products, to teach the public how to transform old objects and share the message that "both people and objects can be reborn after restoration" through their personal experiences.

The program aims to rebuild participants' self-worth and the relationship between them and society. By repairing old objects, they boost their confidence, be helpful, increase their social connections, and more. Additionally, they connect with their past experiences in a meaningful way, encouraging them to face their past bravely and reflect on the positive gains from it.
