“Thank you again for a wonderful workshop with our social work students. I could see how much you resonated with our social work students interested in hospital social work who are not necessarily natural clowns, but come with the same mission in mind to connect with and help hospital patients and their families however they can. Your workshop brought them out of their shells and encouraged connection through humor. I particularly enjoyed the emphasis on being okay with failure, finding the humor in it and the unexpected.”
