The Science Behind Humor and Health Intervention
Laughter Does a Body Good
Laughter has been scientifically proven to reduce stress levels by releasing endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. Laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air, stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles. When we laugh, our body relaxes, and tension melts away.
By incorporating laughter into your daily routine, you can effectively manage stress and promote a sense of calm.
Connections with Comedy
Group laughter captures a sense of social connection. Laughing with others creates a bond of that moment and fosters a sense of community. This workshop builds and exercises these communal skills. Whether it's joining a comedy class or simply sharing a funny video with friends, laughter can strengthen relationships and enhance social connections
Creativity as Medicine
Creativity helps people transition from dependent to independent learners. Fostering humor, creativity, and wellness in a peer-based environment gives participants a voice and promotes advocacy for social, emotional, coping, and education needs. These skills activate and relieve your stress response, and improves your mood. Frequent exercising of your creative mind helps lower depression, anxiety and improve your self-esteem.
