Who are CHADS Ambassadors?

CHADS Ambassadors is a program implemented by CHADS (Communities Healing Adolescent Depression and Suicide) Coalition, a mental health organization based in St. Louis, that provides students with mental health awareness training. CHADS Ambassadors act as a support system for students who appear to be in need of support or a friend.

In addition to positivity projects, volunteer work with CHADS Coalition, and other activities that educate students, teachers, and the school administration, CHADS Ambassadors host De-Stress Day each semester before finals and Positivity Week in the spring.

De-Stress Day

Held after school once a semester before finals; we have snacks and de-stressing activities (therapy dogs, coloring, slime, finger painting, guided meditation, and yoga)

Positivity Week

Held before EOC/AP testing; we promote positivity and inclusivity through uplifting activities and personalized gestures
