Representative Mike Schlossberg

View Mike Schlossberg’s Bio

PA Rep. Schlossberg will be appearing in the Connections Hall, to meet with attendees and sign his book, entitled “Almost the End of the World.” Representative Schlossberg has been a tireless advocate in the realm of mental health and suicide prevention. Writing from a perspective of someone experiencing their own struggles with depression and anxiety, Schlossberg is able to offer a unique and personal point of view on the topic. Intended as an ‘antidote to modern cynicism and hopelessness,’ Almost the End of the World is a story of what happens when the world doesn’t end, and how we fight for each other. Be sure to stop by his table, say hello, and have the opportunity to obtain a signed copy of his book.
