Aggie Mental Health Ambassadors
The Aggie Mental Health Ambassadors (AMHAs) are undergraduate and graduate students working with public health professionals to serve the UC Davis community to fill a long-standing gap in understanding about mental and emotional well-being.
AMHA’s participate in ongoing public mental health training including inclusivity, suicide prevention, evidence-based practices to support well-being, and accessing UC Davis campus resources.
AMHA's educate about campus mental health and well-being resources, encourage the community on how to care for themselves and others, and help to address the epidemic of loneliness and isolation by contributing to an inclusive campus community centered around well-being.
- Where Ambassadors Work
- To maximize accessibility, Ambassadors regularly table at the Memorial Union (Mon/Weds) and Silo (Tues/Thurs), as weather permits. We also walk around high traffic areas on-campus checking-in individuals throughout campus and building community. Ambassadors are also at campus events hosted by campus centers and departments.
- Looking to become a mental health ambassador?
- About 30 Aggie Mental Health Ambassadors are employed under Student Affairs to embed Mental Well-being into the campus community. If you are interested, keep a lookout for positions on Handshake.
