Re: Input for Mental Health Curriculum Project
I think teaching kids how to recognise mental health issues in themselves and others and how to deal with them in a positive way and ask for help. Depression, anxiety and social anxiety are so common, everyone is likely to be touched by these issues, yet nobody seems to know what they are. I am 43 and i have just found out that I not only suffer from anxiety but social anxiety. I wish someone had told me when i was a teenager. Some one close to me has had depression for years, yet i didnt really know it was depression. I know so many people with anxiety and depression, but i really dont think they know they have it! More education please.
