Make Mental Health and Well-being a mandatory subject for GCSE students
I would like the Government to introduce Mental Health & Well-being as a core subject for GCSE (Key Stage 4) students. This could help with the current mental health struggles of our children now and go on to educate young people about this important subject for the future
The pandemic has highlighted the gaps in mental health & wellbeing awareness & shown people in all walks of life that mental health and well-being issues can affect anyone. The children that are studying GCSEs now are the health professionals of the future. If we are to truly prioritise this subject it needs teaching in the same capacity that Physical Health is taught. This would be an investment to protect our children’s mental health and the NHS for future generations.
