1 Degree of Separation If you don’t struggle with depression, you know someone who does—one conversation can save a life.

1 Degree of Separation is a comedy show aiming to end the stigma of mental illness. Depression has one degree of separation--if you don't suffer then someone you know does. Our mission is to bring dialogue, awareness, and acceptance to depression through laughter and vulnerability. At a 1 Degree show, our hilarious comedians talk about depression in an entertaining and enlightening way, as they share stories of hope, happiness, and triumph. This show is an open and honest and engaging conversation about depression. We are working to end the stigma of mental illness with humor and comedy. There will be laughter and tears, but you'll walk away with a greater understanding of mental illness.

❤️ Zanesville, Ohio — Day 2!

Two teams, one mission! Divide and conquer!

Five assemblies in one day! What an incredible way to finish our time in Zanesville!

The feedback was amazing, the impact was powerful, and the emotions were real.

Watching these students laugh, listen, and then find the courage to open up about their own struggles… that’s what it’s all about. ❤️

I’m so proud of our comedians. Eight comedians, two teams, giving everything they had to reach these kids.

And seeing all those 1° shirts throughout the schools! 🥹 Knowing the Five Questions will continue walking those hallways long after we’re gone makes my heart happy.

Thank you, Zanesville, for trusting us with your students and your community.

We’re leaving with full hearts, a few tears, and a whole lot of gratitude.

Mission accomplished! ❤️

A special shout-out to Misty and Jaimie from Muskingum County Health Department and The Zaneville School District for making this evening’s community event happen!

Thank you to all the community resources who showed up, not just to support our event, but to be there for the people in your community.

It takes people who genuinely care to bring a community together, open the door to conversations that aren’t always easy, and remind people they aren’t alone.

We are so grateful for the warm welcome and the opportunity to be part of something so meaningful.

One conversation can save a life. ❤️

When someone experiences 1 Degree of Separation for the first time and walks away sharing words like these, it reminds us why we do what we do.

Thank you to the Director of Fair Oaks Recovery Center for sharing such a thoughtful reflection on Saturday’s su***de prevention training.

Our goal has always been simple: open the door to conversations that can save lives.

We’re grateful for your kind words, your support, and your willingness to help continue the conversation.

Thank you, St. Ignatius Church of Sacramento, for opening your doors and creating an opportunity for meaningful conversations. What an incredible event!

A special thank you to our comedian panel, Sydney, Tony, Rhoda, and Brad. You delivered a real, raw, and honest look at a topic many people are uncomfortable talking about.

Through your vulnerability, humor, and honesty, you created a safe space for others to open up and share their own personal stories.

Talking about it prevents su***de!

One conversation can save a life. ❤️

🇺🇸 Two incredible training sessions at Little Rock Air Force Base!

We are grateful for your support and the trust you place in our program.

Every training reminds us of the power of sharing our lived experiences. When we open up about our own struggles, we create opportunities for others to feel seen, heard, and understood.

To everyone who attended, thank you. And to those who trusted us enough to share your personal stories, thank you for your courage and vulnerability. Those conversations mean more than you know.

It is truly an honor to serve those who serve our country. 🇺🇸❤️

Continue the conversation… Because the impact doesn’t end when the training is over. Sometimes, the most important conversation happens afterward.

One conversation can save a life.
