Raise awareness for mental health in young people

The Issue

As part of our National Citizen Service challenge, we are raising awareness for mental health in young people. 10% of 5-16 year olds have a diagnosable mental health issue, yet 75% of these young people aren't receiving the treatment that they need due to a lack of awareness. This petition will help raise awareness and hopefully encourage sessions to be held in schools and with parents about the increasingly more relevant yet overlooked issue.
