Mr. Boomsma’s Brag Book

Can’t resist posting this… The conference was actually a full day. In addition to an incredible keynote presentation about the value of storytelling in suicide prevention, I attended several breakout sessions. One was about the new season of 13 Reasons Why being released by NetFlix. Frankly, not much has changed about this, but it something parents of young teens should be aware of… another was about media reporting regarding suicide deaths, etc. I came away with some great resources!

I’m just finishing up the keynote presenter’s book “The Gospel According to Josh.” It’s an amazing story.  His blog doesn’t really do his story or his presentations justice, but it’s worth a visit:

This five minute YouTube Video gives a sense of his story. But dig a little deeper and discover his “Changing Minds: A Mental Health Based Curriculum and The I’Mpossible Project.”
