In schools, organizations and workplaces laughter workshops are being introduced in a bid to improve corporate health and wellbeing, team building, stress management, staff retention and to lower absenteeism.
Research from many scientific and medical angles supports the statement that -
Laughter really is the best medicine
American schools have been amazed at the increased creativity and concentration of pupils since introducing laughter to the classroom. Tests results have improved too! 
Laughter Workshops can be run in a lunch hour or for half a day. The sessions give background information on laughter and its value, a series of fun exercises and breathing techniques, ideas to increase laughter in the schools and offer a wonderful opportunity for the staff to connect with each other in an uplifting experience
“If I, Karen, had known its value , when I was teaching, I would have used laughter daily with my pupils”.
