Mental Health Ambassadors

With World Mental Health Day just round the corner – Tough Enough to Care provided our mental health ambassadors with some outstanding training to help anyone who struggles with mental health.

Participants learnt about topics such as:

• Understanding Mental Health: Basics of mental health, common issues, and the importance of mental well-being.
• Active Listening Skills: How to listen empathetically and create a safe space for others to share their feelings.
• Resources and Support Systems: Information on local and online resources for mental health support.
• Stigma Reduction: Strategies to combat stigma around mental health issues.
• Peer Support Techniques: How to offer support without crossing boundaries or becoming a therapist.

By the end of the workshop, students felt more confident in their ability to help others and contribute positively to their school community.
