Wellbeing at ATTFE College

At ATTFE College, we believe that wellbeing matters for everyone. Creating a positive, supportive environment is at the heart of everything we do, and we are committed to ensuring that both learners and staff feel valued, supported, and able to thrive.

We understand that wellbeing looks different for everyone, which is why we are continually working to promote a culture where people feel comfortable talking about how they are doing and accessing support when they need it.

To help us achieve this, we have a range of resources and initiatives in place across the college. One of these is our dedicated Wellbeing Ambassadors, who play an important role in supporting our community. They help to raise awareness of wellbeing, encourage positive conversations, and signpost learners and colleagues to the right support services.

At ATTFE College, wellbeing isn’t an “add-on” – it’s an essential part of our college community. We are committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels heard, supported, and able to reach their full potential.

ATTFE College Wellbeing Ambassadors

Our Wellbeing Ambassadors are a dedicated team of trained staff and volunteers who play a key role in supporting the wellbeing of both learners and colleagues across ATTFE College.

They are committed to helping create a positive, inclusive and supportive college environment where everyone feels comfortable, valued, and able to talk openly about their wellbeing.

Wellbeing Ambassadors act as friendly first points of contact, offering a listening ear, promoting positive mental health and wellbeing, and helping to guide individuals towards the most appropriate support services when needed. They also help to raise awareness of wellbeing initiatives and encourage a culture where looking after yourself and others is part of everyday college life.

Through their ongoing training and commitment, our Wellbeing Ambassadors help ensure that wellbeing remains a priority at the heart of everything we do at ATTFE College.
