Closed Have all secondary schools in the UK teach students mental health.

Closed on

I feel this is import as students should know about mental health issues and the symptoms that come with it. This gives students more of an understanding of mental health and shows that it is not something they should be afraid of.

"Growing number of children self-harming as mental health problems amongst pupils rise, says new survey"- http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/growing-number-of-children-self-harming-as-mental-health-problems-amongst-pupils-rise-says-new-a6912906.html

Students need to know they shouldn't be ashamed of having a mental health condition and how to deal with having a condition in the right way.
