What are the requirements and how do I join? |
Who do I contact with more questions? |
The Mental Health Ambassadors are a group of high school students that create presentations and events to promote positive mental health and serve as people their peers feel comfortable coming to if they have questions about mental health. They do this by learning about healthy ways to take care of themselves, understanding things like stress, worry, and sadness, and learning about more serious mental illness like depression and anxiety.

To be a Mental Health Ambassador, you must practice good self-care and want to set a positive example for others when it comes to healthy decision making and promoting positive mental health. You must also be willing to participate in group activities, attend meetings, and occasionally present to your peers and possibly community members about mental health (don't worry, we'll train you!)
Speaking of training, you'll have to attend a special training at the beginning of the year to be a Mental Health Ambassador. Because of the nature of this group, there is an application and interview process, so if you're interested, you'll need to submit an application (they'll be posted on this page once they're available) and go through the process for joining the group. We're excited to have you! |
Mr. Miley is the advisor for the Mental Health Ambassadors. You can email him at zachary.miley@nordoniaschools.org or stop by and see him in his office at the high school which is located in the High School Support Services offices.
