The Challenge
Working with people with significant mental health challenges to increase their well-being.
The Change
I developed and facilitated interactive workshops to enable people to explore humour use in their lives. To help people to decide if and how humour use could be as a strategy in their toolbox to improve their day to day living.
The Impact
Families contacting me to express gratitude for humour, laughter and play returning to their lives. One person's children sent a thank you card for bringing laughter back into their home, as their mother had stopped laughing 4 years ago.
