Sekolah Menengah Taiwan Tawarkan Libur Kesehatan Mental
SEAToday.com, Taipei - Sekolah menengah atas di Taiwan menawarkan libur kesehatan mental kepada para siswanya mulai Maret 2024. Langkah ini merupakan upaya untuk mengatasi meningkatnya kasus bunuh diri di kalangan remaja serta tingginya tingkat stres dan depresi.
Dengan program ini, siswa dapat mengajukan libur hingga tiga hari per semester, yang dapat diambil secara penuh atau setengah hari, tanpa bukti kebutuhan namun tetap dengan izin orang tua. Kementerian Pendidikan mengatakan bahwa lebih dari 40 sekolah telah menyatakan ketertarikannya untuk mengikuti uji coba program ini.
Program ini merupakan respon terhadap meningkatnya kekhawatiran akan masalah kesehatan mental anak muda Taiwan. Selama tahun 2014-2022, angka bunuh diri di kalangan orang berusia 15-24 tahun meningkat lebih dari dua kali lipat, meskipun angka keseluruhannya menurun. Pada tahun 2022, survei menemukan bahwa hampir 1/4 siswa sekolah menengah atas mengalami depresi berat, dengan tiga pemicu stres teratas adalah tugas sekolah, prospek masa depan, dan hubungan interpersonal.
