THE LAUGHING COUCH 

Where Mental Health Meets Humor.

Therapy is important. So is laughing your way through the chaos.

The Laughing Couch is the merchandise side of Family Forward Therapy - created for therapists, counselors, social workers, teachers, school professionals, caregivers, mental health advocates, and anyone who appreciates a little humor with their coping skills.

From therapy humor and counselor life to teacher survival and self-care, our designs celebrate the people doing meaningful work while reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously.

A LITTLE THERAPY
A LITTLE HUMOR
A LOT OF PERSONALITY

Mental health work can be serious. The people doing it don't have to be serious every second of the day.

The Laughing Couch was created to bring humor, personality, and a little bit of fun to therapy culture, education, caregiving, and the helping professions.

Whether you're a therapist who lives by billable hours, a school counselor juggling one more crisis, a teacher practicing deep breathing before the next class, or someone who simply believes mental health deserves to be talked about, there's something here for you.

 

Wear what you do. Laugh about what you survive. Normalize talking about mental health.
