Rejected petition Introduce mental health advisors and more mental health awareness in all schools
Schools should be used as a place where more students will know what to do if they ever face a mental health problem;not just discussing it once in a while but iall the time.By raising awareness and having school advisors, students can ask for help-lessening this statistic.
More details
One in four students will suffer mental healh problems in their lives.
Not only that but according to the Mental Health Foundation, every year in the UK 70 million workdays are lost due to mental illness, including anxiety, depression and stress related conditions. This means mental illness is the leading cause of sickness and absence from work. Using schools to put things in place and educating our next generation can stop this and benefit us in more ways. MENTAL HEALTH IS SERIOUS PLEASE NOTICE IT.
