Changing Hearts and Minds One Laugh at a Time

Stand Up For Mental Health is dedicated to removing the stigma surrounding Mental Illness. We want to open up the dialogue in our communities, not just tap dance around it. We use humor to talk about the tough issues.

We see ourselves as a unique part of the solution, on the journey towards Mental Wellness. It is one heck of a trip.

If you look at the mug shots of our Alumni and current comedy class members, do we really look any different than you? Maybe we are you, or a family member, co-worker or neighbor, or someone you give a wide berth to on the sidewalk, as you are walking. It isn't just at the corner of Main and Hastings, its in our homes, our offices, our institutions. Every minute of every day, ordinary people like you are dealing with Mental Illness. 1 in 5 of us will, in the course of a lifetime.
