Name: The Youth Health Champions Project
Provider: Youth Connexions (as part of Hertfordshire County Council)
It was feedback from a youth advice service that prompted a national public health body to add a new study module on supporting emotional wellbeing and mental health to its peer mentoring education programme.
The module is part of the Youth Health Champions Project, which is a course that trains young people aged 13 and older to become peer mentors, and in so doing increases their awareness of, and involvement in, healthy lifestyles and activities.
The programme, administered by the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH), is delivered to schools and youth groups in Hertfordshire by youth advice service Youth Connexions Hertfordshire.
