Please consider signing this petition, if you care about mental health in students.

I urge you to increase awareness for mental health resources in schools. Mental health is an important aspect of overall well-being, and it is crucial that our schools have the resources necessary to provide adequate support for students who may be struggling.

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), one in five youth aged 13-18 experiences a severe mental disorder at some point during their life. Additionally, suicide is the second leading cause of death among individuals aged 10-34. These statistics highlight the urgent need for increased mental health resources in our schools.

Unfortunately, many schools lack mental health resources that  provide comprehensive mental health services. This can lead to students not receiving the help they need and potentially exacerbating their conditions.

Having this will not only benefit individual students but also contribute to a healthier and more productive society as a whole.

Some ways we can bring more awareness of mental health resources is having a link available to students with all mental health support resources in the area. This would be easy for students to excess.   

I urge you to prioritize this issue and take action towards increasing awareness for mental health resources in schools.

Thank you,
