What the petition asks
Meetings in schools and educational places should happen weekly as it would be a great step in self-harm and suicide prevention.
In 2017, child suicide rates hit a 14 year high. Reasons that have been suggested include abuse, bullying and pressures from the education system. If we had weekly meetings in schools and colleges they would help people realise they have a support system to help them through the difficulties they are experiencing.
