Programme Objectives

Better knowledge of what works

Students understand help-seeking barriers and incentives from an insider’s perspective and can contribute to more effective solutions.

Better resource and coverage

Adopting bottom-up as well as top-down approaches greatly increases manpower (students) to support the school’s universal and selective interventions, freeing up social workers to tend to higher-risk and indicated cases.

Better reach for students in need

Young people in distress or crisis can reach out more easily when surrounded by a stronger support network of trained and trusted peers.

Better wellbeing for the future

Students who are learning to be wellbeing leaders today are transforming the community’s wellbeing tomorrow.
