Sharing the various flaws in the American Education System
One thought on “How can schools help students with mental illnesses?”
I agree, there is a wide range of options schools can/should take to promote mental health and well-being, however I also acknowledge that not all schools have the same type of funding as Penn State or even a wealthy public school has to offer. For some schools it is all they can do to provide phone numbers and links to websites that talk about mental health or where people can meet counsellors for free. However I think especially in our generation, if a school is not making an effort to provide access then they are doing a social injustice to their students.
