First Unveiling for Josh’s Benches of Awareness"},"content":{"rendered":"

When tragedy strikes, some people become embittered while others are propelled to bring positive change to the world.\u00a0\u00a0For some, the loss of a loved one motivates them to\u00a0raise\u00a0money for a cause that they or their deceased loved one(s) held dear.\u00a0 For Cindy Nadelbach, it was to become the founder of\u00a0a new suicide prevention organization along with Victor Perez, one of her son’s closest friends.<\/p>\n

Last year on May 22, 2018,\u00a0 Cindy’s life was forever changed when her 21 year old son, Joshua\u00a0Nadelbach, from Wellington, Florida, lost his life to suicide. Joshua battled depression and anxiety, which started when he was about 15. After 2 years of therapy sessions\u00a0and medication management,\u00a0it appeared to friends and family that his difficulties were behind him.<\/p>\n

“He acted like he was in remission,” says Cindy. “He was working a lot, going out with friends, planning his future, and was always just out and about, but he wasn’t really okay. He was hiding his struggle.\u00a0He would talk to friends and helped so many people suffering from depression and thoughts of suicide. People come up to me all the time and shared that he helped them, when they were thinking of suicide. That smile he put on his face was actually a fake one.” He was suffering still but this time in silence.”He wanted to live, he just wanted the pain to stop. The pain was the internal turmoil only he knew, and he lost the battle to this horrible illness called depression<\/strong> and anxiety.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Family and friends\u00a0describe him as a loving, kind soul, a wonderful son, brother and friend. “We were told that though he kept his feelings to himself, he helped many through their struggles and was a selfless individual,” she continued. “We believe that by doing this it gave him inner happiness and peace to know he was making a difference in other people’s lives.<\/p>\n

“We want to have his legacy live on and we know he would want us to help save the lives of others.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In memory of Josh, the Nadelbachs and his best friend, Victor Perez, started a nonprofit called\u00a0Josh’s Benches for Awareness.\u00a0 Josh’s Benches\u00a0educates organizations and individuals from a young age through adulthood about suicide prevention and awareness and highlights\u00a0important resources in a visible manner.<\/p>\n

In order to help them fund the benches, they started crowdfunding and are now looking for grants for suicide prevention and awareness<\/a>, sponsors, donors and volunteers to expand\u00a0their reach.<\/p>\n

“We are\u00a0focusing our efforts on raising money for yellow benches and having them\u00a0installed at schools,\u00a0colleges, and public spaces\u00a0to raise awareness for\u00a0mental health<\/a> issues. Yellow stands for hello, because sometimes that’s all it takes to let someone know they’re not alone,” said Cindy. “Yellow is all about making the issue visible. No one should have to suffer in silence. We’re not hiding it anymore.<\/p>\n

\"Josh'sThe bench is a physical symbol that you’re not alone. Everyone knows it’s there. It’s a springboard to bring more conversation about the topic and start a “movement,” to add mental health curriculum to schools.”\u00a0\u00a0We hope the yellow benches will make\u00a0people feel comfortable reaching out and communicating with others. People, organizations and corporations can sponsor benches. The benches list information and a phone number to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline\u00a0\u00a01-800-273-8255.<\/p>\n

Perez has\u00a0dedicated his career to helping businesses grow, and is using his\u00a0knowledge\u00a0to make a positive impact on the community. Perez said, “Today, I am on the board of\u00a0two nonprofits and I have\u00a0helped build a marketing and SEO firm called SPO Consulting. I look forward to making big things happen with the help of all of our new friends.”<\/p>\n

This first bench was\u00a0installed\u00a0in Pierson Park, where Josh used to play\u00a0as a child, and will be dedicated on Tuesday, February 19,<\/strong> by Mayor Anne Gerwig, Commissioner Melissa McKinlay, Ch.5 WPTV anchor Ashleigh Walters.\u00a0members of the\u00a0Wellington City Council, the Palm Beach School Board,\u00a0staff from the local Starbucks,\u00a0Wellington Parks and Recreation, The Palm Beach Post\u00a0and other local press.<\/p>\n

“We would like to thank everyone who donated and helped us start our project to start placing\u00a0benches around town and beyond. We hope to see more\u00a0benches installed this year and are working with the school district to get benches installed in every school!”\u00a0said Cindy.<\/p>\n

Their goal is to have hundreds of thousands of benches all over the country for suicide awareness and prevention.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A few months ago, Nadelbach\u00a0was invited to speak at Palm Beach State College, hosted by Dr. Suzanne Duffs, head of the psychology department and campus events. At the event\u00a0a student who often times considered suicide\u00a0shared that\u00a0what prevented her demise\u00a0was focusing on her\u00a0dreams, her hopes, wishes, and goals in life and remembering the people who care about her. “My advice is to give it time and to reach out. And even if it’s difficult and you don’t know what to say, just being around other people will help,” the student shared.<\/p>\n

“The important thing we want people to know\u00a0is that\u00a0there is help out there for you.\u00a0 If you are struggling, go to the Student Counseling Center.\u00a0 We also want you to create an awareness that\u00a0people may be struggling and by\u00a0treating people with respect and kindness, here on campus and in the community, you might prevent a suicide,” said Dr. Duffs.<\/p>\n

In addition, Josh’s Benches for\u00a0Awareness has formed\u00a0the following two Facebook support groups:\u00a0Josh’s Benches Support Group and RIP Joshua Nadelbach. For more information or to offer support, go to:\u00a0www.joshsbenches.com, or their Facebook<\/a>\u00a0page.<\/p>\n
