I would bet my bottom dollar that the US new health care policies from the Obama administration may follow suite. What may not happen immediately, is for them to be set up in the schools. Crazy you say. We already have school based clinics for health care across the country. These clinics provide many services, including birth-control (Plan B) and other medical treatments, including referral for abortion and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases (STD) with no parental involvement. There are both state funds and federal funds available for these clinics.
It would be a short jump to include suicide services in these clinics. Not a new thought, in fact, Jack Kevorkian advocated for these clinics many years ago.
Again, our children, who are at great risk of depression would be the victims. Without parental involvement, many of these vulnerable children might make the wrong choice.
