Stress is a Laughing Matter: Using Humor as a Coping Strategy

When we’re stressed, people often say "You need to laugh it off", "Lighten up", or "Have a sense of humor about it" - which is great, but nobody ever tells us how to do that. In this funny & engaging talk, you'll learn evidence-based strategies to develop your sense of humor into an intentional tool to reduce stress and boost overall well-being.
