A deliberately clear role
Champions do not diagnose, provide therapy or manage serious risk alone. Their role is to communicate, connect and escalate appropriately within WASSOR's safeguarding framework.
Maguette Academy · Youth Champions
Peer connectors, not counsellors.
Maguette Youth Champions are trained young adults aged 18–24 who help peers discover Maguette, model healthy help-seeking and know when to connect someone with a trusted adult or professional service.
What Champions learn
- How to introduce Maguette responsibly
- Mental-health literacy and stigma-aware communication
- Role boundaries, confidentiality and safeguarding
- When and how to involve trusted adults and professional support
- Accountability as a recognised WASSOR Youth Champion
Safeguarding comes before visibility
The Champion model is being developed with identity verification, central status management and a route for safeguarding concerns. Public verification should confirm only the minimum information needed to establish that a Champion is currently recognised by WASSOR.
