拥有温情,抱走寂寞

当您情绪低落时,是否想要他人给您一个拥抱?当您面对生活上残酷的打击时,是否想要他人关怀的拥抱?当您孤独失落时,是否想要他人一个温暖的拥抱和一句鼓励的话?
吸取两年前Free Hug 活动的经验,心理学系讲师,许伟源(Mr. William) 卷土重来, 带领12名心理学系学生,在三月份最后一个星期五在校园举办了Free Hug活动。这大约2小时的活动让参与者有机会接触不同的陌生人,并给予他们温暖的拥抱。尽管天气炎热,参与者毫无怨言地走遍全校,从课室到办公室;学生到职员,即使汗流浃背,他们都给予陌生人温暖的拥抱与关怀。
负责讲师Mr. William说,他向心理系学生提出举办Free Hug活动的建议,希望借此活动让学生体验更多不同的经验,也希望这活动让大家感受人与人之间的温暖。虽然人数从原先的50余名学生减成现有的12位,但他仍然衷心感谢每一位参与者的付出。
他表示,举办该活动的宗旨是为了要营造一个正面的读书环境,并致力的减少学生的压力。在很多地方,free hugs的活动已经很普遍,如美国,日本,台湾等国家,相比之下,在我国还是属于比较新兴的活动,这也导致,在进行活动的时候,很多人不了解该活动的用意。
