Rejected petition Mandatory Monthly Mental Health Class For 14-16 Year Olds In UK Education.
We need to look to create a programme for all schools to deliver a mandatory Mental Health Class for young adults in our UK schools. This would be delivered at a monthly rate or at worst a Term based class. The importance of monthly is to keep a regular dialogue in place to assist this.
More details
This is a necessity to make change for our younger generation in helping manage their mental health and have a greater dialogue being held around speaking around their mental health. Mental Health related suicide is a pandemic in its own right in the age group of 25-40 in UK Men. Its is imperative a greater step is taken to protect the mental health of our own younger generation.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The Government sets the national curriculum for schools, but how this is delivered and how schools meet the health, including mental health, needs of their students is a matter for individual schools, not the Government or House of Commons.
