Campaign: | To ensure young people with mental health issues feel able to ask for help |
My team and I want young people with mental health issues to feel comfortable enough to ask for help.
Around three children in every class are thought to have a diagnosable mental health disorder and we feel conditions such as depression are becoming more and more prevalent among our peers.
We’d like authority figures, including teachers, to remain vigilant and keep an eye out for signs that a young person might be in need of support.
We want to tackle the stigma attached to mental ill health, so that people feel able to discuss the topic openly.
