Mental Health Ambassadors
At Stoke Hill we have 13 pupil Mental Health Ambassadors.
These pupils have been trained to help you all think and talk about your mental health. They along with the Mental Health Adult Ambassadors have begun the task, along with you all, of making Stoke Hill, a Mentally Healthy School. You can spot the ambassadors as they will be wearing a one of the mental health ambassadors’ badges.
The MHAs have been looking at our school environment along with what we do at lunchtimes. They have created signposts to encourage you all to think about your mental health and what you can do if you need some help along with setting up lunch time clubs.
How we can help in school?
- MHAs will be delivering assemblies on how we can look after our mental health.
- You can approach an MHA with their badge on and they will take you to an adult who can help you.
- The MHAs are in charge of a noticeboard in the school, that will be giving everyone information about how they can look after their mental health.
- You can talk to your MHAs about ways that you think the school could become more mentally healthy. Or put suggestions to your school council members to be shared at meetings.
- The MHAs are trained in year 5, if you are interested in joining the team, let your teacher know. We would be delighted to hear from you!
- The MHA team is working on ways to send messages out to everyone about emotional wellbeing through our notice board.
- The MHAs will be running regular events through the year to help us all think more about our mental health, and how we learn to keep ourselves balanced.
As Mental Health Ambassadors we will send out the message that your mental health fluctuates and that it can and will get better. But sometimes we need to take the time to balance our mental health. MHAs ensure that every young person is treated with equal respect.
