The Tropical Brain and Mind Foundation (TBMF) is proud to announce their Tropical Laughs event series, a unique initiative combining the power of humour and laughter to promote mental health and well-being.
This series features Australia’s only full-time professional comedian with a Master's degree in Suicidology, Mark McConville.
The event series features Laughter Clinics tailored for various groups, along with a Comedy Night where both Mark McConville and Ellen Briggs take the stage, delivering a night filled with hilarious anecdotes, sharp wit, and side-splitting punchlines.
TBMF Chair Cathy Day said “We're thrilled to create the Tropical Laughs event series for Townsville.”
“Our aim is to create a space where the community can come together, laugh, and learn about the profound mental health benefits of humour. Laughter truly is a powerful tool for self-care and stress relief.”
Mr McConville said, “Laughter is often called the best medicine, but I believe it’s only half the story.”
“Humour and laughter together provide immense psychological and physical benefits.
“While laughing stimulates circulation and depletes stress hormones, using a sense of humour helps us reframe challenging situations, making it one of the most powerful coping mechanisms we have.”
Mark McConville offers a unique perspective on mental health as he also draws on over 15 years of lived experience battling and overcoming depression.
The Tropical Laughs event series will take place in Townsville from 1-3 August 2024.
