COVID Mental Health Portraits
June 3, 2021Yesterday I made some portraits of local high school student Anantjot Khosa, for a story by Maggie Macintosh concerning student mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Isolated at home, doing remote learning, yet again, the Grade 11 student has more time to overthink — about her marks, loss of motivation, and the last year in missed opportunities.
These are among the items the 16-year-old said come up during counselling sessions, which she started doing this spring through school.
Photographed for the Winnipeg Free Press. Story can be read on their website.
