Make education on mental health issues compulsory in school
Rejected

What the petition asks
Some schools are already offering mental health awareness as part of social education in high school. However, I believe awareness of mental health issues, symptoms and how to get help should be taught from primary through to secondary school. This would stop the stigma and help children suffering.
