What the petition asks
improve peoples understanding of mental health. teach individuals about mental health and to not discriminate people just because of there mental health problems.
I want the government/parliament to do this because this is important that people understand and spread awareness about mental health issues, in order for those people/teenagers to feel safe and valued and not feel like their feelings and problems don't matter when they do.
