In my six years as a Principal, I have been troubled by the rise in the number of students diagnosed with mental health issues. Only yesterday, an article in our local paper highlighted that 1 in 4 students were struggling with a mental health issue and 1 in 7 students has had an episode in the past 12 months.
Anxiety, stress, relationship conflict, body image, grief, addiction and suicidal ideation – all are on the rise.
