Why this petition matters

Started by jack carlson

             Schools in Indiana do not have enough social workers to help all of their students. By increasing the education budget schools can hire more social workers and create better procedure for helping students with wide variety of mental health differences. Here are some interesting a scary facts:

  • more than 60% of teens with major depression do not receive help.
  • 2/3 of students only get help through their school.

              Indiana House Bill 1134 will remove social emotional learning from schools. Social emotional learning is important for the development of children. Signing this petition will also go towards repealing/preventing the bill.
