Basic Mental Health Education in Schools

The Issue

Over the years, we have seen how ignorant adults are as regards mental health education. Some still argue that it doesn't exist and it is just a mind thing.

Imagine if people had knowledge of mental health right from secondary school, it would make a lot of difference.

I am calling on the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Ministry of Education to add basic mental health studies into the curriculum for Secondary Schools in Nigeria
