Rejected petition Provide more education on Mental Illness for young people within schools
More details
1 in 5 young people will experience a form of mental illness in some part of their life, yet schools are not providing enough information for children to help them to deal with or recognise mental illness. The negative stigma that comes with Mental Illness is mainly due to false facts and ideas, by involving more teaching about mental health in a curriculum we could fix this.
