Student Ambassadors play a vital role in supporting each other and their mental health. 

We know that when teens struggle, they talk to their peers. You can help save or improve a life - learn more about mental health and how to support your peers by becoming an MHA Student Ambassador today.

Let's Talk About It

There is a stigma around being open about mental health. We aim to stop that stigma starting at an early age. 50% of Americans will have a mental health condition sometime in life. Half of those will show symptoms by the age of 14. You are not alone. Support your peers by taking action today and join the MHA Student Ambassador program.
