Eight years later and through a series of remarkable life events, Joshua reinvented himself as a mission-driven international public speaker/educator, author, playwright, standup comic, freelance book editor and ghostwriter, curriculum developer, and educator. As a public speaker and educator, his primary focus is on suicide prevention and mental health; speeches and seminars on his experiences as a survivor of suicide loss, youth suicide prevention, workplace mental health and cultivating resilience—often (but not always) paired with standup comedy. Through his partnership with Skookum Hill, a publishing, consultancy, and production firm he creates content that inspires, educates, entertains, and transforms. As founder and creative director of The i'Mpossible Project, he provides advocacy, entertainment, seminars and peer-to-peer education on suicide prevention, mental health and storytelling.
