The laughter therapy virtual meeting, to be Co-Chaired and presented by Social Worker Susan (Sue) Dembrow Daube, will provide useful tips on “how to find the funny and the fun in life”. Daube worked 14 years as the Family Life Education Coordinator at Jewish Family Service where she oversaw the Teen Life Counts Suicide Awareness Program as well as Outreach to Intermarried Families and Jews by Choice. Her job’s duties included grant writing, communications, fundraising, and development of educational programs and therapy groups.

According to program Co-Chair Ronda Kottle, laughter is the best therapy during these stressful times.

“We’ve had to cope with the Corona Virus, social distancing, and wearing masks,” she said. “It’s important for us to take advantage of an opportunity to lighten up a little and enjoy a long satisfying belly laugh.”
