1 Degree of Separation

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 sh

are 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.

We just finished an incredible podcast with Gina Oliverson and the team at the Stay Mentally Strong Foundation.

We are always grateful for opportunities to have honest conversations about depression, su***de prevention, resilience, and the power of connection. Every conversation helps break down stigma and reminds us that none of us are alone in our struggles.

Thank you, Gina, for creating space for these important discussions and for the work you do to support mental wellness in your community. Looking forward to sharing the episode when it airs!

I look around this room and realize that every person here is part of the solution. Different organizations, different backgrounds, different approaches—but all united by the same mission: helping people who are struggling.

Today wasn’t about competition. It was about collaboration. Hundreds of people gathered with a shared purpose—to learn, connect, and find better ways to support mental health in our communities.

These are the moments that give me hope. When passionate people come together, walls come down, conversations begin, and lives are impacted.

Grateful to be here representing 1 Degree of Separation and building relationships with others who believe that one conversation can make a difference.

We had a great meeting today with Rebecca at Paz Wellness in Cache Valley.

We spent time discussing mental health, su***de prevention, education, and ways we may be able to work together to better serve Utah communities.

Utah has been one of the more challenging states for us to gain traction in, which makes conversations like this especially encouraging. We are grateful for organizations willing to come to the table, share ideas, and explore opportunities to make a greater impact together.

We left feeling hopeful about the possibility of future collaboration and what it could mean for the individuals, families, schools, and communities we serve.

Every conversation matters. Every connection matters. Sometimes the first step is simply bringing good people together around a common purpose to save lives.

Building Relationships, One Conversation at a Time

We just wrapped up a great meeting with the team at the Bear River Health Department.

We had meaningful conversations about mental health, su***de prevention, community needs, and the importance of creating spaces where people feel safe talking about what they’re going through.

We’re grateful for organizations that are willing to engage in these conversations and explore ways we can work together to support individuals, families, veterans, students, and communities throughout Utah.

Every connection matters. Every conversation matters. And together, we can make a difference.
