who are teen ambassadors?
The Teen Ambassadors Program is an initiative dedicated to empowering trained teenagers to educate their peers about mental health and suicide prevention. This program addresses the critical need for mental health awareness and support among adolescents aged 10 to 18 right here in the Roanoke Valley. The primary goal of the Teen Ambassadors Program is to educate teenagers about mental health, reducing stigma, and fostering an open dialogue surrounding these critical issues.
