First aid for mental health should also be part of the curriculum in schools and colleges. It is crucial that young people, our change makers, become relay runners by emphasizing its importance and its indispensability in this era of radical reforms. Research shows that 50% of mental, behavioral and psychological problems start in adolescence. We need to empower educators, parents, and other primary care providers, who are regularly engaged with youth to be able to provide counseling when needed.
