As many of you might remember in May I did a fundraiser with the Cartoon-a-thon at MentalHealthCartoons.com for Mental Health Month. The money raised went to developing a workshop / presentation about humor.

Well today I did my first workshop presentation and here is one highlight from the program called “Finding The Funny Bone.”

This is a Laugh Therapy exercise from the Mental Health Humor Project “Finding The Funny Bone” presentation done by Chato B. Stewart. My pepped up thriller attitude helped really made it fun.

The workshop was to show how humor and laughter can be used as a positive coping skill. This is the Laugh Out Loud exercise and we all had fun doing it.

The purpose of the Cartoon-A-Thon is to use humor and laughter as positive tools in dealing with emotional disturbances which effect many people and families. 

Mental disorders due to mental Illness or mood disorders and nothing to laugh at, but that does not mean we need to lose our sense of humor. As a “consumer of mental health services” and an amateur cartoonist I was drawing one cartoon a day to help thousands find a smile, even it was for a second.   Soon I will write a post with all the awesome comments I got about the cartoon-a-thon.  Below is a video I with all the toons but you will have to go to mentalhealthcartoons.com to see all the cartoons better.

Make sure you comment below about the cartoons.  I’m am making an e-cartoon book of the of the Cartoon-a-thon and will include your comments.  

I’ll post theas a PDF file in a few weeks.
