Students Lead the Way in Mental Health Awareness
In a groundbreaking initiative, a group of dedicated students have taken on the role of Wellbeing Ambassadors to support their peers with mental health challenges. These ambassadors will serve as the student voice for mental health within the school, participating in wellbeing lunch clubs and raising awareness about the importance of mental health.
The launch event was a day filled with mindfulness activities, engaging debates, and in-depth discussions on various mental health issues. Students explored topics such as anxiety and low mood, learning to recognise the symptoms and discovering effective strategies to manage their own mental health.
Feedback from the students was overwhelmingly positive. Many reported that the day was not only enjoyable but also educational, providing them with valuable insights they hadn't known before.
This initiative marks a significant step towards fostering a supportive and informed school environment where mental health is openly discussed and prioritised.
