Protect Our Youth: Psychologist in every School


Protect Our Youth: Psychologist in every School
The Issue
Support. Prevent. Protect.
Every school needs to hire a psychologist to protect the students' mental health.
Today, students face many pressures, including academic stress, family problems, bullying and other personal issues. Without proper support, these problems can worsen, leading to depression, anxiety, and in the worst case, suicide.
We believe that every school should have a licensed psychologist available to students.
A guidance counsellor itself is not enough to cope with other problems the students are facing. Psychologists can help students identify and understand their problems, offer coping strategies to reduce stress and anxiety, and prevent crises and save lives.
Mental health is just as important as physical health. A student who is struggling emotionally cannot reach their full academic potential. By ensuring psychologists are present in school, we can create an environment where students feel heard, supported, and safe.
