Increase Funding for Mental Health Services in Schools for Students’ Well-being

Increase Funding for Mental Health Services in Schools for Students’ Well-being — 285 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition background

Increase funding for mental health services in schools. This could include programs promoting emotional well-being, coping skills and resilience. This may ensure schools are equipped to address mental health challenges some students may face, whether it’s anxiety, depression, or trauma.

Additional details

By taking these steps, we believe the government could create a nationwide shift toward better mental health care for students, ensuring that children may have the opportunity to succeed in both their personal and academic lives. We think mental health may be one of the most pressing issues facing young people today and yet some schools may not be equipped to provide the support students need.
