A large church group (it will be women and men) asked me to give a twenty-minute talk...sharing my experience with my mental illness. (I'm bipolar, but it will be on mental health in general.) Obviously it can't be insulting, but needs to help focus them on the important things I want to share, following the opening. I just want to relax them up a bit ... help get past some of the outdated stigmas associated with mental illness.
Any other tips or thoughts on this???
Thanks for your thoughts and time!

tell them you were in a mall recently and there was a cookie shop that was baking cookies and the smell was so good you couldnt resist, so you bought some cookies and sat down on a bench to enjoy those cookies, while sitting there a woman sitting beside you reaches down and gets a cookie out of the sack and starts to eat it. well you are appalled that she would eat your cookies but you dont say anything, you just reach down and grab another cookie out of the bag and she kind of looks at you funny but doesnt say anything, then she gets another cookie and you are really upset now so you grab the last cookie and she stands up and walks off, you think I really showed her while enjoying that last cookie, so you finish that cookie and decide to leave, so you reach beside you on the bench to get your purse and there beside your purse is also........your bag of cookies. You were eating her cookies. the moral to this story is things are not always what they seem.

I have to do jokes a Senior Center everyday and I have found many good sites by using Google.com and by subject. Also I find telling amusing things that have happened to me personally or others are good interject into a talk/speech

Say something like "Please, if anyone is doctor, go away now. If you think that I need help. Just wait that finish my speech!!"
Good Luck!!.
