IMPORTANT NOTE!
It’s important to remember that student ambassadors are equipped with training to identify GBV, provide initial support, and guide peers toward resources. However, they are not trained to give professional advice, counseling, or intervention in GBV cases. Misunderstanding their role can lead to unintended consequences, potentially exacerbating the situation.
