Rhun ap Iorwerth (Ynys
Môn):
To
propose that the National Assembly for Wales:

mental health problems continues, and the impact this can have on

problems.
2. Believes that education about mental health should start at a young age and schools should be equipped to promote well-being amongst all pupils.
3. Calls on the Welsh Government to:

b) ensure that all public services examine ways in which their own practices can be improved to contribute towards better mental health.
The following amendments have been tabled:

Calls on the Welsh Government to:

In sub-point 3a, delete 'and to seek powers over employment law so that protections for people with mental health problems at work can be strengthened' and replace with:
