This Is My Brave hosts storytelling performances across the United States each year, giving everyday community members a chance to stand on stage and share their personal experiences with mental illness or substance use disorders. Many are sharing stories publicly for the very first time. Cast members feel seen, understood, and less alone, and audience members learn more about and empathize with performers.
Each This Is My Brave performance is produced by a local producer or partner organization, with support from This Is My Brave. Performances encompass perspectives on many forms of mental illness or substance use disorder, including depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, schizophrenia, PTSD, and more. Stories are shared via spoken word essay, original poetry, comedy, dance, or original music.
