On October 4th, we had the privilege of getting some footage for Josh Banks while he spoke at the NAMI Convention in OKC!
We got to listen to his moving story of how he was able to overcome all the odds in finishing school, in-spite of all the issues he faced at home. Now, he is starting a nonprofit organization called The Graduate Anyways Foundation.
This purpose of this nonprofit is to aid students who feel hopeless of ever finishing their education because of adverse conditions at home. Joshua is leading a campaign to reach students through school assemblies, su***de prevention efforts, practical mental health support, and giving adults around them resources to support them.
His story is truly amazing.
