ABOUT THIS IS MY BRAVE<br />
This Is My Brave works to erase stigma by offering a<br />
spotlight to those who live bravely through mental<br />
health challenges or substance use disorders. Our<br />
flagship program, This Is My Brave - The Show, is a<br />
stage production of individuals who share their stories<br />
through poetry, song, essay, dance, or even stand-up<br />
comedy performances.<br />
To date, This Is My Brave has produced over 100 unique<br />
live and virtual performances across the US featuring<br />
just over 1,000 individuals from all walks of life.<br />
In 2019, This Is My Brave sought to prioritize teen<br />
mental health with College and High School Editions of<br />
our show. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted the creation<br />
Our “Turn to Talk” and virtual teen mental health<br />
campaign options.<br />
The mission of This Is My Brave is to empower<br />
individuals to put their names and faces to their<br />
personal stories of recovery in order to break down<br />
stigma and offer hope to others.<br />
Through storytelling, our participants increase their<br />
own self-esteem and sense of self-worth while offering<br />
others a fresh perspective on surviving and thriving<br />
through mental health challenges. Our programs are lifechanging!
