Make peer on peer support groups in secondary schools mandatory

Petition Details

The Government should have peer on peer support groups for children in secondary schools as the rise in cases of mental health conditions is at an all time high and children aren't receiving the support they need due to long waiting lists for CAHMS.

Additional Information

This could have a large impact of students and could take stress off large services such as CAHMS and reduce waiting list and give children who are struggling with mental health a place to talk and make friends who are going through similar issues, and help manage their mental health.
