Peer support is great, but last I checked, mental health belongs with the family, not a government grant.

Mental health peer support sounds promising, but let’s make sure the metrics aren’t just political fluff.

Peer support pilots? About time we treated mental health like the public health priority it is, not a taboo.

This bill puts trust in communities to heal themselves—because evidence-based care beats empty political promises every time.

I’m all for helping students, but let’s watch how efficiently this pilot program actually works before we bet the farm.

Finally, a bill that cares more about kids' minds than corporate profits. Mental health support isn’t optional—it’s a must.
