Rejected petition: Increase the funding for mental health support in schools.
Rejected on
We’d like the government to increase the funding for mental health support so students can have trained professionals to help support them so they can feel safer and less scared to go to school.
We want the funding for mental health in schools to increase so students aren’t as worried to come to school. Students need trained professionals to be able to help them and schools aren’t getting enough money to be able to provide this. Lots of teenagers don’t feel supported enough within schools and this affects everything from their education and their home life and that’s not ok.
