Why laugh?
It may seem like a strange question, but it’s an important one!
First of all, laughter is an immediate source of relaxation.
Just think of how much better you feel after watching a funny movie or during light-hearted conversation with friends.
Beyond this informal observation lies a body of research that has been attempting for several years to demonstrate the therapeutic value of humour and laughter in the health-care sector.
A document to this effect (currently in French only), written by our psychosocial director, Florence Vinit, PhD, can be viewed via the “Download” page or by clicking here.
