As our local MP and a practicing NHS mental health doctor, Dr Dan Poulter was pleased to meet with and support Student Life, a platform run by and for students and providing a means for young people to talk about issues that are important to them, via a Magazine or through its Mental Health Ambassador Programme.
The Ambassador Programme offers a bespoke package of training for students, providing them with certification in Mental Health First Aid via the only course which has been endorsed by the Government. Students undertaking the training will also be trained in suicide awareness, alongside charity LivingWorks.
Student Life also publish a lifestyle magazine created by and written for students on issues that matter to them including LGBT, Finance, Fashion and Mental Health, amongst other things.
Dr Poulter met with Student Life in Framlingham, and enjoyed learning amore about their ambitions to get into every secondary school setting across Suffolk.
