Gabriel Nathan

Gabriel Nathan is an author, editor, actor, and a mental health and suicide awareness advocate. He spreads a message of joy, love, and hope through his (and Herbie’s) Instagram account. He is Editor in Chief of OC87 Recovery Diaries, an online publication that features stories of mental health, empowerment, and change. He serves on the Board of Directors of Prevent Suicide PA, an organization that focuses on prevention, outreach, education, training, and advocacy related to suicide across the Commonwealth. Gabriel lives in a suburb of Philadelphia with his wife, twins, a Basset hound named Tennessee (yes, after Tennessee Steinmetz in “The Love Bug”), a long-haired German Shepherd named Sadie (Gabe fought hard to have her named “Carole” after Michele Lee’s character, but was vetoed), and his Herbie the Love Bug replica. You can view Gabe’s TEDx Talk on his approach to suicide awareness here, and a ten minute preview to an East Coast road trip film Gabe made with his Herbie replica about suicide awareness here.
