Mental Health Ambassadors
Aims to engage 18-25 year olds who have lived experience with ill mental health, or struggles with wellbeing. We are currently working with two groups of 9 and 4, totalling 13 altogether over 10 months.
The reach is ongoing as the MHA will have skills to deliver
Part of the Mental Wealthy Academy, The Mental Health Ambassador programme brings together a group of young people aged 18-25 who have lived experience of mental health difficulties, and teaches them to support the community. Over the course of 10 months, each cohort of young ambassadors will participate in training; covering a wide range of topics: building resilience, learning coping techniques, leadership skills, safeguarding, elements of mental health first aid, and will lead workshops.
As a group, each cohort must reach at least 400 young people
We constantly gather feedback, and our Coordinator writes quarterly reports
