I Am Invictus & Fighting Youth Depression with Colin Bado

One of the messages Colin Bado wants everyone to hear is that it’s OK to need help sometimes. Everyone experiences challenging moments in life. For some people, it may come in the form of longstanding mental health issues. For others, it may be a single experience that brings them to their lowest point. Part of learning to build a good relationship with yourself is knowing when you can’t do it on your own. This week, Bado shares his thoughts on making it through the tough times and finding ways to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Several years ago, Bado found himself in one of his darkest moments. At the time, he says he was having suicidal ideation. His loved ones intervened and helped him find the assistance he needed to get back on his feet. Now, he’s working to provide structure and hope to young people who may be in a similar mindset. The coronavirus pandemic is putting pressure on everyone and changing lives in unpredictable ways. In this timely conversation, Bado talks about holding onto hope, practicing gratitude, and finding opportunities in unexpected places.
