A mandated Government led Primary Prevention strategy for mental health.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

The government needs to introduce a Primary Prevention strategy for mental health that is mandated in law in the same way that treatment and crisis interventions are.

Today, 1 in 6 school aged children have a mental health problem, an alarming rise from 1 in 10 in 2017, yet 70% of children and adolescents who experience mental health problems have not had appropriate interventions at a sufficiently early age, resulting in high numbers of young people entering higher and further education with unresolved and unmet mental health needs, placing them at greater risk of death. University Student suicides have risen by 75% since 2015.

Why it was rejected
