Rejected petition Raise awareness of Mental health and give more support to young people
Currently 1/4 people are set to be affected by a mental health issue, we also see that 50% of mental health problems start from age 14, this shows how vital it is that young people get the support they need to delete the stigma around their mental health.
More details
Young people shouldn’t feel alone when dealing with mental health. I would like more support for mental health issues and to raise awareness about the issue. In order to stop the stigma surrounding it to ensure every young person can live a happy life. While knowing that they can talk to someone if they ever need them.
