All teachers to undertake mental health training before going in the profession

Closed 134 signatures

What the petition asks

There are too many cases of teachers missing the signs of a child going through depression, eating disorders, ect. If all teachers were to be trained before going into the profession, it would allow the child to receive support and help. The earliest a teacher can recognise this, the better.
