This Is My Brave, Inc. (TIMB), the national nonprofit organization dedicated to ending the
stigma surrounding mental illness through storytelling, comes to Philadelphia this fall. The show will be held at the Ambler Theater on October 9, 2022. Performances will feature area community members who live with – or have loved ones living with - mental health challenges or substance use disorders, telling their stories through personal essay, spoken word, poetry, comedy, original music, and dance.
One in five American adults face mental health issues (National Institute of Mental Health), yet the topic continues to carry shame. This Is My Brave aims to end this stigma and silence by celebrating the stories of real people living successful lives with mental health challenges. Since its first show in 2014 in Arlington, VA, This Is My Brave - The Show has featured more than 900 people sharing their stories in over 80 performances across the United States and in Australia.
