Stand Up for Student Well-Being

About Comedian coaches use a range of comedy and humorous activities to teach stand-up, sketch and improv comedy skills to help youth find their unique comedic voices by exploring self-expression through personal stories. History About Us Stand UP for Student Well-Being is a Canadian not-for-profit, charitable organization. Our Vision of Success: A greater community of youth who are empowered to be confident, kind, inclusive, resilient and healthy. Our Mission: Trained comedian coaches introduce comedy and healthy humour to young people in grades four to twelve. Our Beliefs: We need to pay attention to all four parts of our well-being—our body, our mind, our spirit/social life, and our emotions. We need to be comfortable talking about how we feel. It’s normal to respond to life with a variety of emotions. There are no good or bad feelings. There is a close relationship between comedy and well-being. Using healthy humour is an effective way to deal with life’s challenges. When we are laughing, it’s hard to be angry or stressed.
