The Romanian Senate rejected a bill allowing adolescents to seek psychological support without parental consent. Psychologists and educators advocate for the bill's revival, emphasizing the need for mental health support for vulnerable youth. Ruxandra Cibu Deaconu highlighted the struggles of children in abusive environments, like Ana, who cannot access help without parental approval. Educators suggest simple interventions to identify mental health issues among students. Despite the setback, advocates remain determined to push for legislative changes to protect at-risk children.
