The Bright Side

Josh Rivedal wrote and developed the play The Gospel According to Josh, a comedy journey that deals with his adolescence, his starring roles on two reality TV shows, and his father’s suicide.  After speaking with young audience members whose lives had been touched by a loved one who died by suicide, Josh decided to refocus the play to serve high school and college students toward youth suicide prevention.  His play, retitled The Gospel According to Josh: Youth Suicide Prevention Programat Baruch College in New York City has been instrumental in saving young lives and spreading his message of youth suicide prevention.
