Who can Benefit from Laughter Sessions?

The truth is that everyone can. Laughter isn't normal, it's natural and it can help everyone regain their natural abilities to get along, feel good, elevate their mood, notice more, make better choices and decisions, and simply be the better people that we know we are meant to be in a more joyful way that is exciting and inviting to live with.

Schools of all kinds
From preschool to College laughter is a great equalizer helping students to understand the value in collaboration and how to work in the world better with each other. It can add to appreciation, heighten awareness, shift a bad mood, contemplate solutions, develop the critical thinking skills, aid in conflict solutions, add to team work, and take down the walls that divide and categorize. It has even helped students to do better on tests and deal with stress finding more adaptable solutions.

Staff....every staff can find value in destressing!
It doesn't matter what profession from mechanics to medicine, all staff are support personnel that aid every organization to be what they hold a mission and purpose for. When the staff are cared for and respected for what they contribute they work marvelously feeling competent and a healthy vibrant addition to an organization. When a piece of communication misses the mark and a cog is out of place in the working order, chaos can develop at a slow pace and build so the whole organization feels it. Getting the staff to take a second look and find that sense of contribution is key and laughter is a wonderful benefit in taking the doors of adversity down.

Communities
Every community has groups, organizations, governments, volunteerism, recreation etc. Within each of these groups are even more groups. Whether it is large or small all can benefit from the stress relieving wonders of laughter. It brings together people on the same page and melts the differences with sincerity and its cost effective as no one needs to be trained to laugh.

Families
From the intimate immediate family to the larger extended family, learning to find a practice of laughter is healthy and useful. Tensions are normal when learning and living together. Laughter can be a wonderful practice to adopt into a family for when the good times fall into less than appreciable. Reaching for laughter can really shift and teach everyone how to become more proactive and grow as a team with joyfulness. Consider the family reunion, a great time to laugh

Corporations
Organizations that depend on the individual participation and contribution of the members can benefit greatly from a regular laughter practice for the different levels of structure within the organization. Building teamwork and cooperation, opening the doors to clear communication, creating a healthy alternative to conflict and negativity that result from stressful situations are a few of the ways in which laughter practices can diffuse the disfunction and encourage the function. It puts participants in the moment and energizes the positive aspects that help organizations do their best, while appreciating the members that are such a vital part of the process.
