Make Mental Health Awareness lessons compulsory in all UK secondary schools
Too many teenagers in schools across the UK are suffering with mental health disorders. One of the many reasons for this could be because of the lack of education about this topic. By simply teaching teenagers basic information, this could potentially save their lives and lower the statistics.
Some of the basic things you could educate teenagers on are:
•types of mental disorders
•how to help yourself/someone else
•emergency contact - if needed
•local support and advice
I believe this is important as the statistics are shockingly high:
•1 in 10 people have a mental health disorder.
•1 in 12 people self harm.
•Nearly 80,000 young people suffer from severe depression.
•Almost all people that committed suicide had a mental disorder.
