This Is My Brave is a national non-profit helping communities create shows that bring awareness to mental health, substance use, and the hope of recovery. Individuals with lived experience share their stories of hope on a live stage through artistic expression such as essay reading, spoken word poetry, original music, dance, and other creative methods. It is a platform for individuals to share their stories of living with a mental health diagnosis and sharing hope, empowerment, and healing through artful expressions. Charlotte hosted a This Is My Brave Show in 2018, and we are excited to bring it back.
Sometimes, it takes a brave person to share their story and stand in their truth. We hope that someday, we don't have to be brave to share our stories, it will just be what we do!
ReCAST II, Resiliency in Communities After Stress and Trauma, and The Office of Violence Prevention, are both programs within Mecklenburg County Public Health. We are working to improve community resilience by shining a light on resilience, increasing access to mental health treatment, and reducing community violence. This Is My Brave "The Show" CharMeck 2024 will bring our community together for 2 amazing days, September 27-28, 2024, of stories of resilience and hope. We have 3 shows including Mental Health and Substance Use Recovery (Adult Show), Community Violence Recovery (Adult Show) and Youth Show for Mental Health and Community Violence.
