Attend the Association of Applied and Therapeutic Humor Conference

Do you like the idea of using humor at work? I absolutely have to for my job! I can amuse myself whether I’m in my office or out on the road. Humor is all around me. If you like the challenge of how to use humor to cope with problems at work, home or even teenagers, you just might have to attend the AATH Conference in Phoenix/Mesa, Arizona next April 7-10, 2016.

Brenda’s speech filled us with hope and plenty of laughter. More than a comedian, she's an educator and writer who deeply believes in helping people with the best medicine around. . . laughter.
