Doug, her father, reached out to share her story as a worried dad and mental THC awareness advocate for parents. Listening to him discuss the the experience they had with hospitals to gain admittance and help for drug induced or mental health impaired individuals. If you’ve ever experienced this, it’s heart wrenching on all sides, especially with someon over age. Abby was 18 years old and this also happened to me with my son and my sister.

Abby was having psychotic episodes due to the THC potency. She was given anti-psychotics.

In 2015, I ended up in my pit of despair – depression. I didn’t realise at the time, looking back it was bleak time. Having got the right help and support myself and through my own understanding of anxiety and depression, I created my own coaching model which helps adults and children with their mental health struggles.
