HOW DOES 
"COMEDY COURAGE" 
WORK?

Comedy Courage is a free 12 week course where in a safe, supportive environment people with mental health issues recovering from depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and other mental health diagnoses to build confidence, self-esteem, and social skills by developing a three to ten minute stand-up comedy routine about their mental health journey to wellness. At the end of the course they perform in two showcases. 

Once the course is over they continue to perform as a group at mental health conferences, treatment facilities, mental health clubhouses, and for the general public. Not only will the course benefit the individuals, but also mental health consumers in general by giving them a voice, providing positive role models to other consumers, and removing the stigma of what it means to have a mental health diagnoses.

Comedy Courage is firmly committed to the belief that laughter and humor are powerful ways to cope with adversity, and we want to bring that message to mental health consumers and the general public.
