Our Social Issue
mental health - after COVID a lot of people need mental help after feeling isolated due to lockdown. - To help reduce the suicidal rates
Why We Chose It
We chose mental health as our social issue because we felt that since the pandemic occurred a lot of teenagers mental health had been affected including our own. We felt that because it had affected so many people by teachers and students not being able to see their friends, we felt that we should try and improve the school community and make a difference within it. Mental health is becoming such a big influence into your daily and school life and it can affect how some students learn, it can lead students not being able to complete theirHW and fallbehind.
