The project aims at nurturing a group of carefully selected non-final-year undergraduate students to be peer counsellors who can share their experiences and wisdom with fellow students. The second batch of uBuddies have completed systematic training in peer counselling skills and mental health first aid as well as practiced under supervision in the past six months. With the commencement of the new academic year, they have also started to provide various services for the benefit of the student community, such as the Freshmen Sharing Groups for Year 1 undergraduates, and the uBuddies E-box (ubuddies@cuhk.edu. hk) to provide peer counselling to students. They will also assist in producing educational materials on the themes of positive psychology and caring campus. ‘uBuddies’ for 2012 is now open for recruitment.

All staff and students are welcome. No prior appointment is needed. … not only … but also The following sentence looks innocent enough: It is not only imperative to defend oneself but also to strike preemptively. But its well-formedness is only deceptive. In the eye of the professional, ‘not only’ should find more agreeable neighbours as in: It is imperative not only to defend oneself but also to strike preemptively . Eric Partridge, in his influential Usage and Abusage , warns against such misplacing of ‘not only’ (3rd ed., p. 216). Similar grammatical constructions should follow both ‘not only’ and ‘but also’. For example, The life of an ascetic requires not only self-discipline but also self-denial. [nouns] The boy has not only butchered the insects but also tortured the animals. [verb phrases] The expression is equally valid and effective with ‘… not only … but …’: Public health concerns us all not only because viruses are mutating but because we live in such proximity to each other . Readers should always take heed of Fowler’s advice on tiptoeing around ‘not only’. He says, Not only out of its place is like a tintack loose on the floor; it might have been most serviceable somewhere else, and is capable of giving acute and undeserved pain where it is.
