Kicking My Blue Genes in the Butt is a 90 minute, 3 component keynote/program: Part 1) Theatre: A 15 character, 7 songs one-man Broadway-style play performed by Joshua Rivedal—a comedic yet poignant true story, a primal piece of live-storytelling that creates an emotional connection between attendees and the powerful message that suicide is preventable. Part 2) An educational session where Rivedal discusses signs and symptoms of depression and suicide, how to help oneself or a loved one if depressed or suicidal, how to live mentally well, and reviews local and national resources of help. Part 3) A panel discussion/Q&A session.
