This petition is for mental health education, similar to how we learn about sex education. Mental health is an important thing in Canada. 1 in 4 people get a mental illness at one point of their life. We need to educate people about symptoms, how to get help and that it's okay to talk about mental health. You can possibly help out a friend or yourself with Mental health education. Please take the time to sign this petition if you support the idea of mental health education. Thanks.

The feedback I have received from many of you highlights just how vital this curriculum change is for our communities. I am currently drafting a formal proposal for the Ministry of Education based on these conversations.

The momentum behind this initiative has grown significantly since the beginning. I am encouraged to see how many people recognize that mental health literacy is a vital component of our school curriculum.

I think this is an important issue to discuss because there is a growing number of Canadians who are suffering from mental in mental illnesses. If we learn about mental health in school, people will be more aware, and be able to cope.
