Through his songs and storytelling, Josh connected with students while sharing how he overcame significant physical and mental health challenges after reaching a difficult crossroads in his life. His message encouraged students to pursue their passions, support one another, and remember that “people are medicine.” He challenged them to be a positive force—a “medicine”—for those around them.
After a full week of school visits, Josh’s final stops were at Maroa-Forsyth and Sangamon Valley, pictured below.
