We are a group of year 12-13 students trained to listen and provide support around well-being.
COURAGE
MASH recognise well-being is something we all need to work on. It takes courage to acknowledge when you might need support.
COMPASSION
MASH understand it is normal to struggle, stress, bullying, friendship, all impact on us indifferent ways. Not coping is ok - we are here to listen.
CURIOSITY
We are trained to listen and be curious about what is happening for you and to be thinking about what you need.
COMMUNITY
Our main role is to walk alongside you to access support and take a next step for finding balance with your hauora.
