Make Mental Health a compulsary curriculum subject within secondary education.

What the petition asks

Education within mental health is compulsary in maintaining the emotional wellbeing of our children, and future generations. Without this, the stigma will continue throughout out society. In order to break down these barriers, education is key.
Too many men feel they have to carry the "big boys don't cry" persona around with them. It's time to make society realise that strength involves speaking up whether male or female.

Too many symptoms go unnoticed , and One life is one too many. Its time England was pro active rather than reactive.
We also need education in WHO to contact incase a mental crisis should occur, so that family and friends can reach out, should they be concerned about a loved one who maybe suffering ill mental health
