YOUTH AMBASSADORS

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 their 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 Youth Ambassador program.

Youth Advisory Board

A selected number of youth representatives from each high school can apply to serve as role models for the Ambassador Program. Each representative will serve by providing a voice around the following: Youth Ambassador program, initiatives, prevention efforts, specific youth needs, intervention, recovery, and leadership.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD:

• A commitment of a one-year term
• Attend monthly meetings (virtual/in-person)
• Parent/Guardian Permission
• Attend training sessions hosted by MHA Sheboygan
• Transportation to meetings (when in-person)
