Carers from the Bunurong Respite Program joined with Maryanne Da Cosa who coordinates a PAG program at Cranbourne and her carers, for a Laughter Therapy session recently.Maryann arranged food and drinks , a warm and welcoming venue for carers to get together for some networking and fun on a recent Friday evening.
Howard Langmeade provided a one hour workshop on Laughter Therapy, which included much interesting information on the physical and psychological benefits of laughter together with a lot of practice. All participants had a great time and enjoyed lots of laughter. Respite was arranged as needed . Maryanne plans to run similar carers evenings quarterly.An evening like this affords carers not only a break from their caring role but an enjoyable night out with other carers and an opportunity to learn and try something new.
