Stand Up for Mental Health

David Granirer is a counselor, stand-up comic, and mental health keynote speaker. David, who himself has depression, has taught stand-up comedy to recovering addicts and cancer patients, and founded Stand Up For Mental Health, his program teaching comedy to people with mental health issues in 2004. His work is featured by media worldwide and in the Voice Award winning Passionate Eye documentary "Cracking Up" and the award-winning Australian documentary "Crack Up." He is the recipient of a Welcome Back Award from National Council for Behavioral Health for his work using comedy to de-stigmatize mental illness.
