Support from friends
Sometimes talking to your family about your mental health can be difficult, uncomfortable or scary. Some young people may not want their family to know but by speaking to friends it is some you know trsut and love but your family may not need to know. By giving young people the opportunity to learn how to help someone with a mentl health issue could benefit young people across the conuntry as they could spot the probelm earlier and also be able to support their friends better and help them through their hard times.
Why the contribution is important
This idea is impotant as it gives young people the opportuinty to learn not only the importance of mental health but how serious it is. this also means that anyone struggling can turn to the people closest to them whilst still feeling comfortable and not like it is a therapy session from your parents. This is alos important becasue young peoples friends will most likel;y understand them more than a parent or family memeber as often family memebers are confused at why they have mental health problems as they may not understand or have the full picture whereas if it is a school friend they are at school with you all day and know what is going on wghereas family members often are not at school and have no idea what could be going on in the background.
