Mental Health Ambassadors Program (MHAP)

Are you part of a student organization on campus? Want to be trained on how to talk about mental health and incorporate mental health promoting practices into your group? Then apply to be a Mental Health Ambassador! This program aims to help student leaders facilitate conversations about mental health and wellness in their own organizations, and use strategies that promote well-being throughout their organizations. These conversations will help students in your organization learn about their own well-being, break down falsehoods about mental health, recognize the community of support around them, and understand the resources available on campus.

Applications for the MHAP will be available every Fall semester. Up to two members per student organization can apply and be accepted into the program. All student groups are welcome to participate, including Greek letter organizations and Graduate Students. If accepted, all Ambassadors are expected to attend a one-day retreat/training on September 24th or September 25th. Continued education training will be announced during the retreat.

Applications for Fall 2022 will open on August 29th and will be open until September 18th.

All applications will be reviewed, and selected members will be notified as early as September 18th.
