In this inspiring episode of Catholic Education Matters, host Troy Van Vliet welcomes Canadian musician and mental health advocate Robb Nash, whose near-fatal car crash at 17 transformed his life and mission. Robb shares how his recovery journey – from physical trauma and suicidal despair to rediscovering faith and purpose – led him to create The Robb Nash Project, a movement using music to open conversations about mental health, hope, and redemption. Through powerful storytelling, Robb discusses how tragedy can hold potential, not purpose, and how choosing to help others gave his life new meaning. Now, after more than 12 years touring schools, prisons, and communities across Canada, Robb has collected nearly 1,000 suicide notes from youth who decided to live after hearing his message. This heartfelt conversation explores faith, purpose, the dangers of “everything happens for a reason,” and the urgent need to restore hope, truth, and connection in today’s culture.
