Background
By taking these steps, we believe the government could create a nationwide shift toward better mental health care for students, ensuring that children may have the opportunity to succeed in both their personal and academic lives. We think mental health may be one of the most pressing issues facing young people today and yet some schools may not be equipped to provide the support students need.
