Mental Health and Well-being Ambassadors
Mental Health and Well-being Ambassadors are pupils from every year group who have a real interest in championing positive mental health and wellbeing in and outside of school. These pupils are keen to share their learning around mental health and advertise the importance of self-care.
The Ambassadors have a responsibility for leading and promoting wellbeing throughout school, driving the message forward and releasing the stigma around talking about challenging feelings and encouraging people to talk.
Mental Health and Well-being Ambassadors also provide feedback on what’s working well, highlight any gaps in whole-school approaches to wellbeing and work alongside staff to make lasting changes.
