Mental Health Ambassadors

The Mental Health Ambassadors (MHA) are a group of undergraduate and graduate App State student volunteers serving the App State campus community. The mission of the MHA program is to promote mental health, educate others about mental health concerns, help de-stigmatize mental illness and the utilization of mental health services, and aid in campus and community prevention efforts. MHA volunteers work with Counseling & Psychological Services to help promote emotional development in the App State community.

The primary responsibilities of MHA volunteers include doing outreach presentations, attending weekly team meetings, and assisting in the development and implementation of various Counseling & Psychological Services programs. MHA volunteers are expected to do a minimum of 5 outreach programs per semester and are required to commit to an academic year (Fall and Spring semesters) of participation.
