A BIT MORE THAN A ROUGH PATCH: What A Comedian Learned About Taking Mental Health Seriously
A program full of laughs, Susan talks about the most difficult year of her life and how her own stigma contributed to a mental health crisis. Delivered in her signature comedic style, Susan normalizes our struggles and offers what she learned the hard way about taking mental health seriously.
“Susan shared about a subject that many find very difficult to talk about and she did so with humour. Her natural storytelling ability and the ease with which she connected to the audience by being vulnerable and real was truly amazing. Susan is also really funny! The feedback I have received from the team has been great – they loved Susan and the talk! Something that really amazed me was how comfortable the team was asking questions of Susan about her experience and what she would recommend to help others who may be struggling. That to me reiterates just how well she not only connected with the audience, made a heavy subject easier to discuss but also just how relevant the topic was.
