As Active Wellbeing Officer one of my main focuses would be on mental health and the importance of providing young people with mental health support.

In today’s world mental health is no longer regarded as a taboo topic, conversations about it are encouraged and your mental health is seen as just as important as your physical, yet young people still aren’t accessing the help they deserve. Since the start of the pandemic there has been a 35% rise in mental health problems in young people. Your Active Wellbeing Officer should be someone who wants to combat this, someone with a background in mental health training, someone who wants change. I’m this person.

If I were to be your Active Wellbeing Officer, then I would want to create safe spaces where students can come together to talk about their issues.
I would have a monthly “Pop the Kettle on” where students can drop in have a cuppa and talk about issues.
Quarterly I would arrange an event to promote different aspects of Wellbeing.

The college already has some great to resources but accessing them isn’t always the easiest, I want to revolutionise this. I want to be here for all - from the people who are having a bad day to the people whose depression is so severe they struggle to get out of bed. I understand how the education system works and I understand how the mental health system works, I also understand that the two don’t always combine! I want to be the bridge that brings them together.

Hi, I'm Saffron and I'm running for Active Wellbeing Officer in Cardiff and Vale College. I've created this page in order to reach a wider number of students at the college. Currently this page will include information about why I want to be your Active Wellbeing Officer and the initiatives I would like to implement if I were to be successful. If I am successful then this page will include information about the upcoming opportunities in college, different events, the support available etc.

Thanks for coming to take a look at the page, and remember voting takes place vie the Curriculum Surveyor which can be accessed on all college computer - the deadline is 12pm on the 28th May 2021! 😁
