由于青少年自杀率上升,苏格兰拒绝强制性心理健康教育的申请。 Scotland rejects petition for mandatory mental health education as youth suicide rates rise.

苏格兰青年自杀危机继续恶化,26%的年轻人死亡与可能的自杀有关,这促使学校紧急呼吁进行强制性心理健康教育。 Scotland's youth suicide crisis continues to worsen, with 26% of young people's deaths linked to probable suicide, prompting urgent calls for mandatory mental health education in schools. 尽管得到广泛支持,但一项敦促苏格兰政府为学生和教师开展预防自杀培训的请愿书遭到圣罗鲁德公民参与和公共请愿委员会拒绝。 Despite widespread support, a petition urging the Scottish government to implement suicide prevention training for students and teachers was rejected by Holyrood’s Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee. 年轻MSPs和悲伤的父母, 包括英国成功代言人, 认为决策者无视青年的声音, Young MSPs and grieving parents, including advocates who succeeded in England, say decision-makers are ignoring youth voices and failing to act. 他们指出,流行病的后果、社交媒体和欺凌是关键因素,并警告说,不采取行动就有可能造成更可预防的死亡。 They cite pandemic fallout, social media, and bullying as key factors, warning that inaction risks more preventable deaths. 虽然英格兰计划明年使这种义务教育成为义务教育,但苏格兰没有这样做,从而加深了对政策差距日益扩大的关切。 While England plans to make such education compulsory next year, Scotland has not followed, deepening concerns over a growing policy gap.
