To introduce Mental Health Education as part of the core national curriculum.
Mental health is an increasing problem in our society, within classrooms and corridors; our kids suffer through many forms of illnesses, one being anxiety. Plasters and paper towels in the medical room can't always help the young and innocent. The answer is in education, we need it in the syllabus.
- The pressures on youth in the last decade has resulted in an unprecedented rise in mental health problems.
- It is estimated that 50% of long-term mental illness first presents itself by the age of 14 and 75% by 24.
- "1 in 4 people will suffer from mental health within their lifetime" MIND.
- "Rates of self-harm in the UK are the highest in Europe at 400 per 100,000" Mental Health Foundation
- We must destigmatise mental health for the benefit of future generations.
