Tenet 4: Being in the present moment

Tenet 5: Active Listening

Tenet 6: YES AND + Ensemble Support

Our Approach

Safety, trust, connection, and being in the present moment are requisites for healing from trauma and they are also the foundation for improvisation. This overlap is the cornerstone of Humor for Hope’s work.

Our Cause

Centered on access, accountability, and justice, our collective of teachers, therapists, students, and community organizers are specially trained in matters concerning how the intersection of race, class, gender, and (dis)ability affect not only our relationship to mental health but our relationship to the world in which we inhabit.

Together we will...

Tend to trauma and stimulate resiliency and post-traumatic growth. We provide safety, trust, connection, support, and jobs by creating the type of world and environment that we so fiercely believe in and know is possible.
