End the Silence :Bring Mental Health Awareness to Schools

Break the Silence: Mandate Mental Health Education in Schools.
We live amidst a silent pandemic—mental health issues ravage lives, families, and futures, yet they remain ignored, hidden under stigma and neglect. Of the 150 million Indians needing mental health care, only 30 million receive it. The rest fight battles alone in silence.
Mental health education will not just save lives; it will create a compassionate, emotionally intelligent generation. Studies show that untreated mental illnesses are linked to 95% of crimes. Addressing this in childhood will help India reduce crime rates and set a global precedent for building a safer, happier nation.
