It was lovely to be part of St Paul's Catholic Primary School, Woodridge Wellbeing Week this week.💛

I joined the staff for a fun session of Laugh for Wellbeing, taking a little time at the end of a busy school day to laugh, move, connect and reset together.

Based on the principles of Laughter Yoga, we explored how intentional laughter, playfulness and mindful breathing can create a positive shift in how we feel — all while having a bit of fun along the way!

A big thank you to Principal Helen Boyes, Assistant Principal Diane Johnson and the school for creating space for staff wellbeing and welcoming me so warmly. It was wonderful to see so many smiles and plenty of laughter! 😂

🎉 What a way to celebrate Beenleigh Laughter Club's 1st birthday!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Laughter Club on Friday night to celebrate one year of laughter, connection and community — and to mark Loneliness Awareness Week.

We had 15 people join us, including an incredible 9 newcomers! It was wonderful to welcome so many new faces, with people coming from different suburbs across Logan to share the evening with us.

We celebrated with some Ekka-inspired laughter exercises 🎡😂 and, as you can imagine, there was plenty of laughter, playfulness and fun! Laughter Club is a welcoming space to laugh, play, breathe, connect and support your wellbeing.

Thank you to the Beenleigh Neighbourhood Centre and everyone who has been part of our first year — whether you've joined us once, come along regularly, brought a friend or helped spread the word. You are what makes our Laughter Club community a special place.

Want to join us next time? Beenleigh Laughter Club is back on Friday 4 September, 6:00pm. Come along, bring a friend, or simply come on your own — there’s room for you!

Here's to another year of laughter, play, connection and joy together. 🧡

Today marks the start of Loneliness Awareness Week.

1 in 2 people living in Australia are lonely and/or socially isolated. It's one of the most common human experiences, yet one of the least talked about. Loneliness can affect anyone, regardless of age or life stage.

Sometimes all it takes is a smile, an invitation, a conversation or a shared experience to help someone feel seen, valued and included.

Connection doesn't happen by accident. It grows in the spaces we create for each other. 🧡

At Happy Impact, we understand the challenges of loneliness because we've experienced it too. That's why we believe wellbeing grows through connection and community. Through laughter, play, movement and music, we create joyful opportunities for people to connect, belong and thrive.

You'll find Beenleigh Laughter Club featured on the Loneliness Awareness Week Connection Map, alongside other activities happening across Australia. If you're looking for ways to connect in your community, it's a great place to start. Explore the Connection Map: https://lonelinessawarenessweek.com.au/connection-map/
