Laughter IS the Best Medicine
Laughter therapy principles can be applied in communities such as schools and workplaces as a form of social glue; people who laugh together work together better. Sometimes the laughter therapy session is called a laughter club, which has the added therapeutic advantage of supporting a psychologically satisfying sense of belonging.
We consider humor, or any activity that evokes mirthful laughter, to be advantageous to healing, reducing stress, and enjoying life, and in that sense is therapeutic.
Under the right conditions, all human beings are capable of laughing and smiling virtually at birth. Our approach emphasizes and encourages the development of a particular set of attitudes as a means of self-care as well as a contribution to a better world.

One does not need to have a sense of humor in order to laugh. Even people who claim to be completely devoid of a sense of humor can enjoy and benefit from laughter therapy. However, over a period of time, systematic participation in a therapeutic laughter program appears to have the effect of improving the sense of humor.
Most often, laughter therapy activity takes place in a group that comes together with the common purposes to experience, embrace, and support laughter, as well as to enjoy social support.
