Mental illness still has stigma around it and always will unless from an early age the next generation understand that it is not something to be embarrassed about or ashamed of. Prevention is better than a cure and teaching children and young people about emotions and how they impact our behaviours and thoughts should help children understand themselves better, be able to recognise when they need help and provide awareness to notice changes in their friends. Education is needed for change.
