Raising awareness for mental health needs in medicine hat schools
Raising awareness for mental health needs in medicine hat schools
The Issue
The issue I see consistently at my school, is the schools mental health issues. Some of the students who suffer from mental illness dont know how to access counselors. I want to make a embarrassment-free program at the school and start to normalize mental health issues. Instead of making them seem bad or negative like the way kids look at it right now. So my idea is having more private conversations with a specialized counselor strictly for mental health, and more posters making more people aware of mental health.This way all students can reach out for help if their parents/guardians do not talk to them about these things as some people do not think that teens have mental health issues. And im not saying they are bad parents, they have just never thought about such things. So please if you care about teens mental health please sign this petition to get the school onboard to take part in this need of change.
