In this session, author, comic, and mental health/suicide prevention specialist Joshua Rivedal will discuss the importance of investing in our own mental health and self-care. Rivedal will lead off the session with some light standup comedy as an icebreaker and as a method of storytelling. He will also share a more poignant, serious side to his personal story regarding his struggles and triumphs around mental health to discuss some basics of mental health, coping and stress management strategies, how to cultivate resilience, and tips for self-care. Rivedal will also discuss recognizing and helping others in distress or suicidal crisis, including: risk factors, signs and symptoms of someone thinking of suicide, and how to intervene as a peer. The session will end with a Q&A. Food will be provided!
