 Goal 4 of the Sustainable Development Goals, Quality Education, Mental Health and Education Mental health is a rising issue that is receiving more attention lately. Studies show that 20% of kids in the United States show signs or symptoms of a mental health disorder. These issues include depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. Unfortunately, a large percentage of these children are not treated for their disorders and go undiagnosed. Many children who face mental health issues have troubles that tie into problems at schools such as constant absence, failing grades, and unruly behavior. The first step in finding a solution to this growing epidemic is to start at the root of the problem. Students that show signs of mental health issues should be helped immediately. Teachers should be aware of signs that their students may be dealing with mental health issues and make an effort to reach out to help. Their parents should be made aware of the potential disorder and a joint effort should be made to help them. Meetings with guidance counselors and therapists should be scheduled to give students a safe place to talk about their feelings, troubles, and thoughts. This will allow students to talk through what is causing their mental health problems and hopefully a resolution can be made. Lastly, it is important to remember it takes a village to help. If the teachers or faculty are unable to help, outside resources should be looked into in order to make sure the students receive the best care available. It is important we make sure to nurture them now so that they will live happy and fulfilling lives.
