Well-Being Ambassadors：共建温暖校园

This semester, our Well-being Ambassadors have made significant strides in supporting student well-being. One highlight was a speech on stress management, prepared with guidance from Ms. Blair, our counsellor. Through collaborative scriptwriting and rehearsals, our members gained confidence in public speaking and shared practical strategies to help peers manage stress during the exam season. The experience was both challenging and rewarding, fostering personal growth and community connection.

Another impactful initiative was the Emotional Check-In event, where students and teachers received coloured bands representing different emotions. This team-driven activity encouraged emotional awareness and strengthened community bonds through enthusiastic participation.

Apart from organising events to promote emotional recognition, we also sought to address the challenges faced by our students. As a result of our in-depth discussions, we decided to collect and categorise the specific issues of concern through an online survey. A selection of these issues was then displayed on the Mindseek board, where students and teachers were invited to share their valuable insights. Throughout this event, we were delighted to observe a board filled with thoughtful and supportive responses that were both comforting and encouraging.  

The Shreds activity offered a therapeutic outlet, allowing students to write down their worries and shred them, symbolising emotional release. With Ms. Blair's guidance and team support, this event proved to be a healing experience, reinforcing our commitment to reducing anxiety across the school.

This semester at the Well-being Ambassadors CCA has been a journey filled with warmth and growth. Here, members not only gained rich practical experience in event planning but also deeply felt the unique cohesion of the group. The natural mutual support between us made every meeting felt like hanging out with good friends.

One of the most precious takeaways was learning how to convey "emotional value" to infuse the team with greater vitality. While designing the Mental Health Month Board, one member worried about the outcome, but others immediately gathered to help refine fonts, offer suggestions, and praise the design's highlights. Positive feedback was like a ray of sunshine, warming everyone.

The biggest change for members was learning to embrace "allowing" instead of chasing "perfection." In the past, we worried about events not being spectacular enough; now, we cherish the cozy moments spent together in the activity room, drawing posters and cutting cards. When making the "Lunch Break Activity" poster, we ran out of coloured paper and had to patchwork different colors. Someone laughed and said, "The different colors make it special!" and we all agreed. This group offers a sense of security that allows us to try new things without fear - perhaps this inclusiveness is the best mental health lesson of all.

Looking ahead, the Well-being Ambassadors are excited to introduce new initiatives to nurture mental health. The“Anonymous Confession Tree Hole”will provide a safe space for students to share worries anonymously through a submission box and online platform, with professional counselors offering guidance. Additionally, we plan to launch a "Psychological Film Appreciation Salon,”where monthly screenings of psychology-themed films will spark discussions on human emotions and perspectives in a relaxed setting. Finally, we aim to collaborate with parents and local junior high and elementary schools to expand our impact, organising activities to enhance emotional resilience among younger students.

Through these efforts, the Well-being Ambassadors CCA remains committed to fostering a caring, inclusive, and mentally healthy school community at SUIS.
