Greetings from the MHLC…

Meet Ashley Ambrose, our September MHL Champion!

Introducing our September MHL Champion, Ashley Ambrose, Deputy Director, Health Equity at Clinton Foundation.

Ashley’s leadership has been integral in promoting mental health literacy (MHL) training for pre-service teachers via our Clinton Global Initiative Commitment to Action

We truly appreciate Ashley’s continuous support, which has helped us to provide future educators with the knowledge and language they need to be prepared to integrate MHL education into their schools. Thank you, Ashley!

Join us for our October Community of Practice on October 8th at 2pm ET!
