A dedicated mental health and suicide prevention advocate, Joshua brings deep knowledge and lived experience around poor mental health and suicide to the mental health sector, as well as to several national and local projects, boards, and organizations.

Passionate about ensuring others know they are not alone, Joshua has worked tirelessly since the age of 16 to share his own journey with others, raise awareness, and advocate to ensure safe and accessible resources, and push for key policy changes to improve the mental health of Canadians. This includes his work through a community-run organization between 2020 and 2024, publication of youth-informed reports, and his advocacy for the National 988 and the ongoing Hope Can't Wait Campaign for a national suicide prevention strategy. 

Joshua currently serves as a Member on the National Boards of the National Initiative for Eating Disorders and LGBT Youthline. In addition to this, Joshua is a Community Champion with Unsinkable and a Member in good standing of the Eating Disorders Association of Canada and the Global Mental Health Action Network.

In early 2025, Joshua was awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal for his significant contributions to Canada in this sector, and in 2026 was named one of Canada's Top 25 Mental Health Leaders.
