A group of Year 10 students are currently involved in developing a peer mentor programme in QEHS, working in partnership with Northumbria Healthcare Trust, as part of the Northumberland Trailblazer mental health in schools initiative ‘Be You’.
This term, the students taking part will be working on developing posters and leaflets to advertise the programme. Additionally, the group will be giving feedback on a selection of resources and materials being used, including websites and apps designed to support young people’s mental health.
We really value students’ input as it will ensure the resources are appropriate, effective and young person friendly.
