Students can now take 'mental health days' off from school in Oregon. (via CNBCMakeIt)
The Oregon bill was first introduced by a group of local high school students in February, who were inspired to change the stigma around mental health following the national youth-led movement on gun violence after the school shooting in Parkland, Florida killed 17 students and staff members last year.
"We were inspired by Parkland in the sense that it showed us that young people can totally change the political conversation," Haily Hardcastle, 18, who helped to write the bill, told the Hardcastle along with a group of other students said the measure is meant to change the stigma around mental health and help "encourage kids to admit when they're struggling."that the law is an important step in challenging the way society approaches mental health issues.
