關注DSE生離校支援 輔導專業望「敲開」體制大門
據了解，英國「低密度心理治療」以「心理健康主任」為主，並由輔導或臨床心理學家、資深心理輔導員進行培訓及督導。亞洲專業輔導及心理協會主席、香港樹仁大學輔導暨研究中心輔導心理學家余鎮洋坦言，外國體制是已用盡既有的心理及輔導人力資源，仍然缺乏精神支援人員，才衍生短時間完成培訓、投入社區服務的「心理健康主任」，惟香港卻未有善用現有人力，「現況不太平衡。」
香港樹仁大學輔導及心理學系副系主任及副教授林嫣紅博士指出，業界以服務大眾為本，不抗拒坊間提供不同心理治療課程，但相關從業員的培訓及實習時數和訓練深度遠低於大學學士程度或以上的輔導專業人員，只能勝任第一層支援工作。她認同說，輔導專業一直希望有更多渠道進入精神健康體制，現時停滯不前，盼藉着分層護理模式打開一扇窗。
