Mental Health plays a big part in everyone’s lives! No matter what age, your mental health should come first! In secondary schools, Colleges and University’s it is essential that you are in the correct mind frame to achieve the best of your abilities. As someone who has struggled with their mental health, I am more than aware of the stress that comes with battening yourself and the addition of education.

I believe that everyone (especially those who have been recongnised in struggling) should have the right to take days off to help those individuals cope with mental health. Work should not be expected to be completed when away (as long as this privilege isn’t abused) as this would cause more stress on the individual.

Students would get allocated a certain amount of days per year to the mental health, the schools, colleges and Universities should not pressure the individual into telling them the specific reason that they were off, but instead they should offer support and tell them who they can talk to in confidentiality.

This act of respect for students across the country would not cost anything physically, but instead play a great deal in improving the education system!
