I decided to do Psychology Society this year because the opportunity came up and Psychology is something I want to do in university so it’s a bonus. We mostly talk about well being and think about how to promote it throughout the school.

I think mental well being has been a more prominent issue not just within the school. Depression is on the rise and so is other mental disease. Talking about it will hopefully remove stigma surrounding it and get people to accept these people who are struggling instead of pushing them out into mental wellbeing hospitals. Sometimes I feel like the more we talk about mental illnesses, I myself become more mentally unwell which is in itself is a confirmation bias in action.

The two teachers in charge are the two psychology teachers and we try to do a meditation each session to increase our own mental well being as well. They do this in psychology class as well.
