The BHS Student Mental Health Advocates (SMHA) are mental health support leaders. Together we learn, discuss, and train students on topics related to: youth mental health, identifying positive coping mechanisms, and developing a sense of belonging for BHS students. A BWC certification is available to students who participate in 10 meetings and complete a small project.

The SMHA’s strive to advocate for supportive policies and to connect students with vital resources — all with the goal of better serving BHS students’ mental health.

Student Mental Health Advocates is advised by Brittany King, Guidance Counselor at Belmont High School.
