Stand Up For Mental Health

On May 6, 2022 Leduc County Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) hosted Stand Up for Mental Health™, a comedy show featuring local comedians with lived experience of mental health challenges. Seven local residents participated in a month-long workshop series to formulate their troubles into healing through humour, with the help of facilitator David Granirer.

David is a counsellor, comedian, speaker and author from Vancouver who lives with bipolar disorder and is the creator of the Stand Up for Mental Health™ program. The program was made possible due to the generous grant funding provided by the Rural Mental Health Project (RMHP).

The evening was filled with fun and awareness raising that was both gut-and-stigma busting at the same time! Each of the comics’ video recorded clips are available below:

  • Kris Marks
  • Joanne
  • Danny
  • Giselle
  • Jody
  • Patricia
  • Teri

Blue Monday

Online variety show

Blue Monday is known as the most depressing day of the year. It’s dark, it’s cold and the credit card bills from holiday spending are arriving. Join artists, poets and storytellers for an ode to both the struggle and the hope that we need in our darkest hours. Through powerful and inspiring performances, we will honour the melancholy and welcome the new year with some optimism and anticipation. 

While Living Library events are not appropriate for audio or video recording, many events have captured through an illustration created by a graphic recording artist. Some art submissions are also shared here. 

Photo Gallery: Blue Monday will appear here on the public site.

Living Library photo galleries

Our virtual Living Library events explore a number of different themes affecting our community, such as mental health, suicide, overdose, addiction and men’s health.

The premise of the Living Library is that human beings are like books and have interesting lived experience. By attending, one is ‘checking out’ another person’s story. Sometimes, others’ stories resonate with their own and other times they provide a window into a world completely unknown to them. The goal is to have meaningful conversations about sensitive topics, to increase understanding and to reduce shame and stigma around certain social issues.

The events have proved to be profound experiences for speakers and listeners alike. Participants have reported opening up to new perspectives and becoming more trauma-informed. Speakers reported feeling seen, heard and honoured by sharing what they have been through and learned.

While Living Library events are not appropriate for audio or video recording, many events have captured through an illustration created by a graphic recording artist.
