Let's Kiss AATH!

 I have seen what a laugh can do. It can transform almost unbearable tears into something bearable, even hopeful. — Bob Hope Before you look down your nose on a clown nose...It's important to realize that therapeutic humor is a valuable tool to help others.Think of those who battle cancer and chronic illness, nurse patients with spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injury, comfort the dying, care for a parent with Alzheimer's, cope with the death of a son in a car accident, deal with the legacy of alcoholic parents, struggle with the aftermath of rape, miscarriages, teenage suicide.  ARRGH!   Unfortunately, "Pain and Suffering" is a reality show playing in all of our neighborhoods.Hard to believe, but I'm told some people stress out over a lost earring (not me!) or a missed plane (never!) or (God forbid!) a lousy internet connection. (Can you hear me? Is this working?)YOU too can experience the transformative power of humor.AATH is The Association for Applied & Therapeutic Humor - It is THE home for humor and laughter professionals.
