Mental Health Ambassadors are student leaders who partner with the Counseling Center
to promote mental health awareness and share information about campus resources. They
serve as visible advocates for mental health by sharing information about counseling
services, campus resources, and strategies that support emotional wellness. Through
outreach, events, and peer engagement, ambassadors help reduce stigma around mental
health and encourage students to prioritize their well-being. They act as a bridge
between the student body and the Counseling Center by helping peers learn about available
support, normalizing conversations about mental health, and connecting students with
appropriate resources when needed.
This group provides students with the opportunity to develop leadership, communication,
and advocacy skills while contributing to a healthier and more supportive campus community.
Mental Health Ambassadors represent the Counseling Center in a positive and approachable
way, helping ensure that students know they are not alone and that help is available.
