You have to be nuts to take counselor and stand-up comic David Granirer’s Stand Up For Mental Health program, where he teaches stand-up comedy to people with mental health issues but the results can be life-changing! This hilarious presentation is part comedy and part education. David, who himself has depression, looks at how humor can build confidence and help fight the stigma around mental illness. Through video clips, you’ll also get to see examples of his comics breaking down barriers by finding the lighter side of their mental health journeys.
