Community groups

Ideal for rural communities, sporting clubs, church groups or simply as a way of bringing your people together, this presentation is all about promoting better mental health and suicide prevention through the power of humour, laughter, self-care, and community support. This event is not only about laughter; it’s about fostering connections, breaking down stigma, and offering resources for those in need.

The Laughter Clinic can also be the perfect way of helping a community to heal after the trauma associated with natural disasters, trauma that can last for years. Regularly there have been significant improvements in a community’s wellbeing after one of our events.

Hear from Mark McConville, Australia’s only full-time professional comedian with a master’s degree in Suicidology. Mark offers a unique perspective about mental health as he also draws on over 15 years of lived experience battling and overcoming depression. This insightful presentation offers the perfect balance of humour and laughter with easy to remember mental health self-care strategies and take away messages.
