Spread more mental health awareness in schools and youth centres

What the petition asks
I want to do this petition because as a person who has faced some depression and bullying before I feel that I should have talked out and I feel that many children do this while they feel isolated and lost with no guidance or anyone to talk to.
This will help for schools and youth centres to encourage their students to talk about mental health issues and not suffer alone
Why it was rejected

Make a paid counsellor available for all students in every secondary school
Increase funding to Children's Mental Health services
Provide funding for mental health facilities in schools.
