Adam Grabowski #SayItAnyway

Come and have a laugh, meet new people, and engage in an important conversation about mental health.

Suicide, self-harm, depression, anxiety, and shame are becoming increasingly prevalent in today's world. The rapid growth of social media is perpetuating the idea that we must constantly appear to be perfect and happy in order to achieve likes, followers, and personal self-worth. There is more pressure than ever to edit, modify, manipulate, and create an image or story of ourselves that will appeal to others. We can help eliminate this fear by exposing and discussing the human condition. When we speak openly and begin to accept ourselves as human beings, we can take positive steps forward.

One person who can help facilitate this conversation is Adam Grabowski. He has spoken at over 600 colleges, been named as college comic of the year multiple times, and even appeared on America's Got Talent in 2016. In addition to being a comedian, Adam now speaks about his depression and anxiety, introducing the #SayItAnyway Campaign through which he empowers students to talk about their own experiences and mental health. Adam's message about finding your voice and understanding you're not alone in how you think and feel leaves a much greater impact because it's a part of a comedy show.
