Get Mental Health Classes Mandatory in Secondary Schools

The Issue

As we have all discussed and witnessed recently, it is now more clear than ever that we NEED to educate our population on mental health, how to promote it and help those in need. This education must start at a school level. If we can show our government how important an issue this is to us by getting as many people to sign this as possible, then maybe we'll start building towards our goal. That goal is to reduce the number of young people dying by suicide and to increase awareness of mental illness throughout Ireland. We NEED to educate.
