Implement weekly mental health checks in schools
The issue
This year alone I have had to be the therapist of two of my friends because they were struggling with self-harm. if that's this year alone how many do you think ive dealt with in my lifetime? how many times does this need to happen before we stop being just arts of a chart?This work is seriously tolling and i and many others mental health because we worry, we care but what are we supposed to do?
1.5 percent of death of documented deaths of the earth's population is from suicide that may not seem like much but that's 750,000 people! are we as a society just going to turn a blind eye? our youth is suffering and we can help stop it!
So, what can we do? Well for starters we can include basic and intermediate level metal health training for education majors. This is because many youth look up to and trust only certain teachers and building the new rust is really hard if you've got other things going on in life. This also gives youth more trust in the government and education system.
Secondly, I believe that weekly mental health checks should be implemented for ages 12 and up. Although by many this would be considered rash and perhaps hard to maintain understanding our youth, monitoring them and detecting possibly detecting mental disorders could help bring on treatment earlier creating less suicide rates. So, which would you prefer? a bit of money spent or our youths self-esteem, confidence and overall welling being to dwindle?
Thirdly I think counselling offices worldwide ins school would always be full as to avoid burnout for therapists as they also have emotions. As adults why do we expect them to have higher mental capacity?
Together as a society we can create a new world thats safer and happier for our youth! so why dont we? theyll all be adults one day. So make life easier for future them if you really care and sign now!
