More details

The government should do this to better take care of those in need of mental health services. There is not enough within the curriculum to help kids deal with the increasing mental health impact that technology has in the 21st Century, nor is there anything to teach them how to navigate, and manage their own mental well being. Adults are struggling to maintain jobs because of the similar stresses of 21st century living, further compounded by COVID. This issue has wide economic repercussions.
