Petition Make suicide awareness mandatory for all secondary schools

We would like the Government to implement suicide awareness to make it a mandatory part of learning for all secondary schools as part of their timetabled, curricular learning. There could be group discussions and presentations about this as part of relationships, literary and humanities lessons.

More details

As a teacher myself, in the school where I work and many others, learners only hear about these kinds of events from assembly or visitors. If we could bring this to the forefront and base lessons on this, we may be able to raise more awareness and save more lives in the long-term.
