Find out how the Wellbeing Ambassadors Programme meets our organisational values...
We believe in providing resources and programmes that create a real and sustainable change. That is why we provide you with all the materials you need to run this programme in your school or setting with cohorts of young people, year after year.
Our programme has been developed by a team of positive psychologists and coaches utilising up-to-date research and practice. Research and evidence tell us that peer-led initiatives are the most effective for the early prevention of mental health problems in young people. Three-year access enables you to access updates as new research and effective practice emerges.
This programme has evolved from extensive partnership work with, schools, early prevention and CAMHS teams with a range of NHS services and local authorities nationally.
Most importantly, Wellbeing Ambassadors has been developed with and for young people. Taking on their ideas and feedback enables our programmes to meet their needs.
