Comedy Heals: 1 Degree of Separation Jesse Brown VA Medical Center, in partnership with IL Joining Forces, University of Illinois at Chicago, and Chicago Veterans brings you a powerful comedy night. 1 Degree of Separation is a comedy show and suicide prevention program aimed at ending the stigma of mental illness. Depression has one degree of separation: if you don't suffer, then someone you know does. They aim to bring dialogue, awareness, and acceptance for those suffering from depression through laughter and vulnerability. We laugh at the dark stuff, because laughter releases the pain. We talk about depression because no one should feel shame. Join us for a night of laughter and healing. Get ready to experience the power of comedy as we bring together talented comedians who will make you forget your worries. Laughter is the best medicine, and we guarantee you'll leave feeling lighter and happier. Don't miss out on this event that's sure to bring us all closer together through the universal language of laughter! Information Source: Chicago Veterans | eventbrite
