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.
