ChatHealth Ambassadors
We want everyone to know about ChatHealth. We are always looking for young people to be ChatHealth Ambassadors. This helps us raise awareness of the service in schools. We give our ChatHealth Ambassador support and training so they feel confident to informally discuss some of the most common topics discussed. These include emotional health, relationship advice, healthy eating, smoking cessation, bullying and exam stress.
