Keynote: Dr. Stuart Robertshaw aka Dr. Humor
Click here to download Healing Article by Dr. Robertshaw
In 1987 Dr. Stuart Robertshaw, teacher, psychologist and attorney, read that "preschool children laugh or smile over 400 times per day, adults over the age of 35 – only 15 times per day." That single quote started his personal journey to review scientific and medical research regarding the benefits of laughter and humor. By mid 1990, he announced the formation of the National Association for the Humor Impaired. Selected as a novelty, that very title would catch the attention of the national press and serve as a vehicle to teach others about the benefits of laughter. Through conference presentations and articles, featured in magazines such as Family Circle and Mature Outlook, the Association has received national attention in over 144 newspapers and 180 radio stations. Referred by the press as "Dr. Humor", Dr. Robertshaw currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Association. He will share with you what he has learned about the psychological and physiological benefits of humor and laughter as they relate to taking care of ourselves and our loved ones.
