stem4 is delighted to that Hallam Amos, the Welsh International rugby player, has agreed to become our latest ambassador.
Hallam started playing rugby at 11 and was the youngest player to debut for a senior side aged just 17. He played for Wales at 19 and in the World Cup in England in 2015, in the Six Nations, against the All Blacks in New Zealand and in the Commonwealth Games in Australia.
Whilst playing rugby Hallam is also completing a medical degree. He said:
“stem4’s work is particularly pertinent to me as I have lost a couple of close friends in the last year as they succumbed to mental illness. Their work is incredibly important in modern society and I am thrilled that I am able to work with such an inspiring charity.”
Dr Nihara Krause, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, CEO and founder of stem4 said:
“I am absolutely thrilled that Hallam has joined us as an Ambassador. I am sure that many of the young people we offer our services to will relate to Hallam. We are very keen to support the friends of someone with a mental ill health condition and encourage young people to challenge mental ill health issues early as well as build on positive mental health. ”.
