Gerontological Conference
We had the pleasure of sharing the many benefits of laughter at a conference designed for professional nurses and care providers involved in the care of gerontological patients. It's so fulfilling to share a simple way for professionals to create a connection with their patients through laughter. And what a fun way to end a conference with something fun and memorable. They left feeling positive, relaxed and full of laughter.
One of the items on the agenda was working with seniors with dementia and we were grateful to share laughter and breathing exercises that may help relieve anxiety, and promote more social connection between care provider and patient.
Everyone got to feel the benefits of laughter in their own bodies since a laughter session is so very experiential. There were plenty of giggles, guffaws and overall surprise at how the body reacts to hearty laughter. Plus, all that oxygen that gets into every nook and cranny with a deep belly laugh? Well, it just feels good!
We are grateful for every opportunity to share laughter as a stress management tool, especially for care providers and health care professionals. And we hope their own wells got filled too, they deserve it.
Very Good, Very Good, Yay!!
