Secondary schools to be offered mental health training
Theresa May is expected to announce that secondary schools in Britain will be offered training on how to identify and help children who are suffering mental health issues.
The move comes amid rising concerns about cyber-bullying. The Prime Minister has, according to the Telegraph, vowed to tackle the stigma surrounding mental illness and to end the injustices by changing the way it is dealt with.
In a speech today, she is expected to announce measures to tackle mental health issues in classrooms, at work and in communities to prevent it from becoming "entrenched" in society.
