Provide yearly mental health check up’s in high schools and sixth forms.

Petition Details

There is an all time high rate of mental illness and suicide among young men and woman aged 11-19 years old. Some of these young people abuse drugs and alcohol as a way of coping with mental health as they suffer in silence without anyone knowing unless they speak up about it. This needs to change!

Additional Information

This Article from the Guardian states that “There were 177 suicides among 15- to 19-year-olds in 2017, compared with 110 in 2010 and more than in every year since then except 2015, when the toll was 186, the Office of National Statistics data shows.
Fifty-six girls and women in the age group killed themselves last year. The suicide rate among that group, 3.5 per 100,000 people, was also the highest on record, and well up on the rate of 2.1 per 100,000 in 2010.”
