Kathryn Ecclestone, a professor of education at the University of Sheffield has discovered that these wellbeing programs and their fast rising cottage industry churning out "wellbeing consultants" are to be compared to "snake oil [peddlers]." Ecclestone warns that the methods used lack evidentiary support, but there are much more disconcerting program results. In the worse case scenarios, "students are increasingly being medicalised and referred for counseling without questioning."
There are currently 31 schools with wellbeing programs in place in Wolverhampton, England. In the United States, the number is far greater. This is due to the millions of grant dollars earmarked for public schools to specifically engage in mental health testing, courtesy of Obama's 2013 "executive action titled Time to Do Something about Gun Violence," as reported by World Net Daily.
This executive order, which was enacted after the events surrounding Sandy Hook, blew the doors open to "help teachers and others recognize mental health issues in youth." Instead of parents taking the lead in assisting their child through life's twists and turns, the uneducated educator could declare that a child needs mental health assistance if and when the child is acting out of sorts. It matters not if the child is just hungry, or nervous about an upcoming exam, or reliving memories about the bully in the hallway.
Peter R. Breggin, M.D., is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist who has seen the underbelly of the psychiatric industry. He understands pharmaceutical fraud and has testified many times about the adverse reactions of pharmaceutical drugs. In this video, Dr. Breggin clearly and compassionately explains the harmful effects of the stimulant drugs given to students diagnosed with a very common diagnosis, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD.)

Twisting what was once considered normal behavior for children and turning it into a money-making proposition is just one more tragic indication of how the American family has been systematically and savagely ripped apart at the behest of "big daddy government."
Is it any wonder that more and more families are withdrawing their children from what has become a public fool system and exercising their parental rights to say no to Common Core agendas, the increasing scourge of government mandated vaccinations, and now, arbitrary and unscientific mental health testing? If these ADHD diagnoses continue to be forced on unsuspecting parents and children, warns Dr. Breggin, it could mean a lifetime of underachievement and possibly an early death.
