Create a Mental Health Curriculum for High Schools In Ontario

The Issue

I graduated High school this year and I am still astounded that there is not a curriculum for Mental Health in schools. If physical education is required than a mental health class should be required as well. If the 12 minute run is important than I think learning about how rejection, anxiety and depression is just as important as running for 12 minutes. I don’t think the ministry of education understands how needed this curriculum is. It could prevent a lot of teenagers from committing suicide, improve there mental state for classes and extra curricular activities. It is my mission to get a curriculum made for Mental Health in high schools.
