Episode 4: My MOL: Alyssa
CONTENT WARNING: This podcast will contain mentions of suicide, depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges.
--
It's time for another My MOL episode, this time featuring second-year student rep Alyssa! Alyssa and Maya have a conversation about mental health during the pandemic, teachers who prioritize student wellness in the classroom and in the curriculum, and the importance of finding personal ways to care for oneself. It is an episode that falls almost too perfectly in line with our pillars of personal wellness AND awareness and advocacy, but what can we say? Alyssa's bold and eloquent recounts of how her activism and education surrounding mental health allowed her to heal after a year of isolation are inspiring and thoughtful, and it was a pleasure to talk with her! And make sure to stay tuned until the very end - Layle hosts the debrief room "Our MOL" to help recap everything we chatted about :)
BONUS: If you want to take a look at the awesome video that Alyssa created in her super cool teacher's class last year (yes, this is the video that sparked her advocacy journey!) you can find that here!

Although we hope that this conversation helps to break the stigma around student mental health, it is not intended to be a replacement for professional mental health treatment.
