 The Wellness Committee presents: Humour and Resilience: Rolling with the PunchlinesWith comedian, Amy Sloan. This staff-only Wellness Event of the Year will be sure to have you in stitches. Come one, come all – before work, after work, during your break, or on your day off for the Wellness Event of the Year. Hamilton’s Amy Sloan has been performing stand-up comedy and presentations on humour for over 15 years, anywhere from night clubs to church basements. She is a nurse, a massage therapist, and a mom of 3 who has found that using humour helps with almost everything! Amy uses the power of everyday stories to help us understand that humour can be accessed and benefited from, by all of us. Recently, she spoke on humour and resilience at a regional meeting: “I would recommend Amy any time for any event where you need humour to help make your day or evening. Can guarantee she will lighten the ambiance in the room and have you in stitches.” –Carol Barnhardt, Southern and Western Regional Liaison February 26th, 2020 at 12pm.
