Wellbeing Ambassador Program
The Wellbeing Ambassador Program has existed since 2018, with 100+ students being trained and contributing to mental health initiatives and events at Flinders during this time. You may have seen some of them present at events like Wellbeing Week and R U OK? Day – see some of the previous Wellbeing Ambassadors below!
The Wellbeing Ambassador Program is for students at Flinders University interested in contributing to student wellbeing. Wellbeing Ambassadors will be provided with free training, engage with students during wellbeing events, and contribute to numerous wellbeing initiatives.
