Are you crazy about comedy?

Fresh from sold out shows at the Vancouver Comedy Festival and Montreal Fringe, SMH brings its own brand of inspired Insanity to Thompson Rivers University. Stand Up For Mental Health Day at TRU features David Granirer and the Comics of SMH Vancouver. See below for a couple of videos.

Vancouver-based Stand Up For Mental Health (SMH) uses stand-up comedy to break down the stigma surrounding mental illness and facilitate a lively discussion on Campus. Laughter is our Lethal Weapon of Choice.

This October, SMH visits 12 top universities and colleges across Canada during MIAW (National Mental Illness Awareness Week/Month). We are proud to visit TRU.

SMH Days on Campus allows Thompson Rivers to share its mental health strategies, challenges, successes and research with other top schools across Canada.

1 in 5 Canadians will personally deal with a mental illness in their lifetime. 100% of us will be affected collaterally through family, friends, peers and others. Students are a huge part of that demographic. Youth suicide and depression are just an example of some of the serious mental health issues facing students, their families and schools.
