The students are trained by staff to give more options to those struggling
Ahead of World Mental Health Day, so-called 'peer mentors' are being highlighted as a key element to supporting those struggling with mental health conditions in schools.
King William's College runs a programme which sees staff train those wishing to be of service.
Peer mentors are pupils within the school who can be approached by other students, who may feel more comfortable speaking with a peer, as opposed to a member of staff.
Peer mentor Jenna from King William's College, explains what's involved:
Person dies following road traffic collision at Hillberry
Contractors to start installing 20mph signs in Douglas and Onchan
Accessible bus stops rolled out across Bus Vannin network
Road closures in place following incident in Hillberry area
