About Foothill Student, Abi:

My name is Abi, I am a rising senior at Foothill High School and I’m also a Girl Scout working on my Gold Award. My Gold Award is called Art Sessions to Alleviate Stress in Pre-teens. My project is about teaching pre-teens how to alleviate their stress in a positive manner using art techniques. I have created a video series that includes information regarding stress and art, they include breathing techniques to alleviate stress, an interview with a Psychologist with a BA in art, and multiple art techniques to help reduce one’s stress. The video series is targeted at pre-teens so they can learn how to handle stress healthily from a young age, but the video series applies to people of all ages. I am very passionate about mental health, so this project is very close to my heart. I hope everyone enjoys this series and I wish this series helps you find a way to alleviate your stress in a positive manner!
