i-Hub is an online resource hub developed by the Department of Social Work, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Hong Kong Baptist University as part of the Jockey Club SMART Family-Link Project. Its purpose is to support the advancement of family services in Hong Kong, as well as to develop innovative family services, through the use of technology and data. This is achieved by gathering practical resources and cutting-edge concepts on family services, research findings from both local and international sources, and evidence-based practices in the field.
Through this comprehensive platform, individuals such as social workers, researchers, and those interested in family services can conveniently access a wide range of resources, information, and protocols about family issues and diverse family services that are readily accessible for use.
This project is led by Professor Daniel Wong Fu-Keung, the Chair Professor of the Department of Social Work, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at HKBU. Professor Wong has extensive experience in empirical research in the field of social services. He has collaborated closely with various local social welfare organizations and has led teams for many years in integrating social work research with frontline family services in practice.
