UnMute: Mental Health Ambassadors Programme
What is the programme?
UnMute: Young Mental Health Ambassadors Programme is a dynamic, youth-led initiative designed by and for young people, centring the voices of underserved and under-heard families. With facilitators who bring both lived experience of migration and racialised identity.
UnMute is about working with young people to develop the tools to speak and lead within their local community
“My increased confidence has boosted my social energy, and the skills I’ve learned through the programme are tools I now use independently. “
