Mental Health Ambassadors
Our Program

Mental Health Ambassadors receive experiential training on a scope of topics related to mental well-being including common symptoms of mental distress, campus and community resources, skills for providing support and intervention, alcohol and other drug use, suicide prevention, and self-care.
