A Critique on the Juxtaposition Between Mental Health and Our Modern Education System | Why Reform?

A Critique on the Juxtaposition Between Mental Health and Our Modern Education System | Why Reform? We are going to open up a broader discussion on the relationship that has developed between our Educational System and Mental Health.   More specifically, how the majority of mental health issues develop or are pinpointed within a classroom setting.  Even more specifically, how children as young as 6 (and sometimes younger), are introduced to their first prescription drug because an educator decided that their behaviour is ill-suited for a classroom environment.   As such, many adults today have cultivated lifelong prescription dependencies as a result of their inability to conform to a classroom setting. This is a huge point of contention for me, and I hope, once you review the research, you'll see why. We will be doing a series of videos during our week on Education to properly address all the reasons why we need to create more distance between the Educational and Mental Health spheres within our societies.   #Education #MentalHealthCrisis #Reform   *RESOURCES*  - The State of Mental Health in U.S. Educators: https://www.starlingminds.com/the-state-of-mental-health-in-u-s-educators/   - Fast Facts About Mental Illness: https://cmha.ca/fast-facts-about-mental-illness   - It's time for universities to put student mental health first: https://www.theguardian.com/higher-education-network/2017/sep/07/its-time-for-universities-to-put-student-mental-health-first   - We Need to Prepare Students for Post-Secondary Mental Health Struggles: https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/graham-baldwin/post-secondary-mental-health_b_16959220.html   - Demand for youth mental health services is exploding.
