Raise awareness for mental health in young people
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.
