Background
Mental health issues among students are rising, with anxiety, depression, and stress affecting their well-being and academic performance. Many schools lack the resources to provide adequate support, leaving students without the help they need. Increased government funding would ensure every school can offer professional mental health services, helping students cope with challenges and succeed in their education.
