Rejected petition Mental illness topics to be implemented into the national curriculum.

More details

We want people who have a history of mental illnesses to not be discriminated against especially in the workplace and with employment.
Young people should be educated from the age of 11 (start of secondary education) so that they understand the causes and affects of having a mental illness. Educating children from a young age will help tackle the negative stigma surrounding mental illnesses.
