Petition Action

Provide each high school in the UK with a counselor based inside the school.

Petition Details

Young people especially are extremely vulnerable to mental health disorders, this can range from depression to eating disorders. Unfortunately, not all schools in the UK offer a counselor within school to offer support to teens.

Additional Information

A 2004 survey conducted by The Office for National Statistics found that approximately one in ten children and young people aged 5 – 16 had a clinically diagnosed mental disorder.

In the UK and Wales, it is estimated that every 20 minutes a 10-19 year old attempts to commit suicide.

As of 2014, figures revealed that there was a 70% increase in 11-14 year old's attending A&E because of self-harm.
