What the petition asks
With 75% of Mental Health symptoms starting before the age of 18, Mental Health Education should be compulsory in curriculum.
We should be educating and supporting our children to understand their emotions, feelings and behaviour. Without adequate information and knowledge, how are our young adults able to then move forward, and build a solid foundation for their adult life.
