Wellbeing Champions
What is a wellbeing champion?
A group of pupils were asked to volunteer to become Wellbeing Champions. The aim is to give pupils a voice and the chance to be involved in improving the mental health and wellbeing of their peers. They attended a few group sessions where they learnt about the importance of mental health and how to look after ourselves.
- They are friendly and approachable
- They are creative and enthusiastic

The training was based around the ‘5 Ways to Wellbeing’…
