I was watching the CBC tonight and nearly fell out of my chair when I saw the segment on Stand up for mental health! This counselor in Vancouver BC, started back in 2004 offering stand up classes/workshops as therapy when dealing with Mental health issues. I never knew such a thing existed until today. Back in 2006, I took a class at the local comedy club - for an outlet for myself. I have used comedy to deal with the struggles in my life. Last year I went through some very hard times and I'm now expanding on my jokes about it..... They have a website that all can check out.....this is pretty cool! www.standupformentalhealth.com Cynn IP: Logged |

My improv teacher always likes to say how it's the best therapy. We don't do stand-up comedy, but rather improv skits like Who's Line Is It Anyway.IP: Logged |
