Hear about the life-changing difference
Hear about the life-changing difference Laughter Care™ has brought aged care residents and dementia patients.
The Humour Foundation is an organisation of expertly trained performers who bring laughter, joy and genuine human connection to aged care facilities. Our Laughter Care™ program delivers life-changing results through the art of play.
International research and studies prove the numerous physiological and psychological benefits of laughter to health and wellbeing. Humour is an effective coping strategy, relieving fear, stress and pain, and has positive effects on the cardiovascular, immune and respiratory systems.
This underpins The Humour Foundation’s programs; creating laughter where it is unexpected but most needed.
The Laughter Care™ program is a world-first, bringing together medicine and the arts in a professional partnership that improves the quality of life of aged care residents in a unique, person-centric way. Laughter Care™ performers are chosen for their sensitivity and empathy, and undertake ongoing, professional training to adequately equip them for the unique demands of working with people living with dementia (52% of aged care residents) and those experiencing social isolation and withdrawal.
