Stand Up Comedy for Mental Health

Stand Up For Mental Health teaches stand up comedy to people with mental health issues as a way of building confidence and fighting public stigma. It was founded by award-winning counselor, stand-up comic, and author David Granirer who himself suffers from bipolar.

Featured in the Voice Award winning documentary Cracking Up, Stand Up For Mental Health aims to reduce public stigma around mental health issues and spread a message of hope and mental health empowerment. People with mental health issues are always being told what they can't do. In this program they get to prove what they CAN do!
