Across New York state, all schools will be teaching mental health as part of their health education this fall.
Thanks to a new law that took effect on July 1, all elementary school, middle school, and high school students will be required to learn about mental health in traditional physical education and health classes.
It makes New York the first state to require that mental health be taught on educational agendas to all grades.
After the law was passed in 2016, the New York State Mental Health Education Advisory Council was established in August 2017 to provide guidelines.
Some of these include: identifying signs of mental health problems, resources for help and support, and the negative stigma that surrounds mental illness.
When it comes to children, however, the numbers are similar but in some ways even more shocking.
