About 1° of Separation: 1 Degree of Separation is a California-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides suicide prevention training with a comedic twist. Founded in 2019 by comedian Brad Bonar Jr., the organization’s mission is to reduce stigma and save lives by fostering honest conversations about depression and suicide. 1° of Separation combines stand-up comedy with vital Mental Health First Aid education, creating an engaging and safe space where audiences can laugh while learning how to support those in need. Its innovative training show – “A Funny Look at Depression and Suicide” – has reached thousands across more than 15 U.S. states, and internationally to U.S. military installations.
Participants leave equipped with practical tools like the program’s signature “Five Questions” card, which encourages open and non-judgmental dialogues about mental health. 1° of Separation has been featured in media outlets such as KCRA News, Capital Public Radio, and military press, and was a keynote speaker at the 2023 DoD/VA Suicide Prevention Conference.
By using humor, personal stories, and the 5 Questions, 1° of Separation aims to inspire hope and humanize mental health struggles, fostering resilience in individuals and communities one laugh at a time. Learn more at 1DegreeOfSeparation.life.
