Josh Rivedal of The I'Mpossible Project will lead a discussion on mental health and suicide prevention. The event is free and open to the public.
Author, playwright, and actor Josh Rivedal will lead a discussion on suicide prevention and mental health from 5 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 4, in Wayne State College’s Kanter Student Center’s Frey Conference Suite. Admission is free and open to the public.
The 60-minute event, “How to Live Mentally Well and Crush It in College,” is part of The I’Mpossible Project and is structured into three consecutive parts of standup comedy, an educational session, and a concluding Q&A session.
Rivedal combines humor and storytelling to discuss his personal journey with mental health challenges, including his experiences before and during college. His comedy not only entertains but also offers a unique perspective on navigating mental health struggles with resilience and hope.
Following the comedy segment, Rivedal facilitates an educational session where he delves deeper into topics such as mental health, self-care tips, coping strategies, recognizing signs of depression and suicide, and suicide prevention, providing valuable insights and resources for students to support themselves and their peers.
The event concludes with an interactive Q&A session, allowing audience members to engage directly with Rivedal and seek clarification on any mental health-related concerns they may have.
