In high school, Kevin Breel looked nothing like a depressed teen. He was a team captain, popular, funny, confident and led his high school basketball team to a championship season. But a few hours after winning the game, Breel contemplated suicide. Twenty-year-old Kevin suffers from clinical depression, an illness that knows no boundaries. Kevin uses his passion for stand-up comedy to talk about his personal battle with depression. Kevin's appearance on The Today Show and his TED Talk have made him a prominent speaker about teen depression. He's engaging teens across the nation by combining comedy with an honest and hopeful conversation about mental health issues.
This community-wide event is funded by the Acton-Boxborough United Way and the Acton-Boxborough Regional PTSO. There is no charge for this event. We strongly encourage our community’s teens and their parents to attend.
