alison canavan
on the 6th of November we got a talk from a former model, Alison canavan who talked to us about depression and how she struggled as a young teen with the modelling career,drinking,smoking and taking drugs. She talked about how even when she was a model she Still felt self conscious about herself and how it can really effect young teens badly. She told us about how she went on antidepressants that made her feel worse. Alison taught us some methods on how to improve your mental health by even just taking a few minutes to mediate or say three things you are thankful for, she suggested getting off social media for a while to give yourself a break from it. I really enjoyed Alison's talk I would really like her to come again for another talk. I found it very interesting and helpful. I would recommend Alison's talk to other schools.
