Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to make Suicide Awareness and Prevention training mandatory for high school students. This training is available in the English schools and I feel we should be following suit to help the next generation of young Scots. This training would help to remove stigmas and empower our young people to speak up openly. It will also ensure our teachers can spot the vital signs and can take appropriate measures to prevent a fatality.
