Josh McLoughlin is only 17 years-old, but has the wisdom of someone far beyond his years. His mental health struggles began at age 11 when his step brother took his life. As years passed he started to find himself battling within his own mental health struggles. Anxiety and depression started to consume his life and ultimately take over. His family experienced another great loss when his other step brother other took his life as well. For all Okanagan locals these two suicides shook up several lives and the father of the two teens, Josh’s step-dad, Tom Budd became a massive name in the mental health community. Despite his step-dad’s role in the mental health community, Josh still found himself feeling alone and keeping his struggles to himself. Josh has found himself on the other end of a knife on different occasions, he has contemplated suicide countless times, and he has hidden his struggles from the majority of people. Courage and strength are two characteristics that cannot even begin to describe Josh because his story takes those terms to a completely different level. You truly never know what someone is going through and Josh McLoughlin is a prime example of this.
