Humour Foundation - Palliative Care

PALLIATIVE CARE

Clown Doctors also play a role in palliative care. The aim is to provide ways of dealing with death, and paradoxically people frequently share their feelings. Clown Doctors take risks in balancing lightness with the profound. Caring clowning can speak the language of the heart and bring a sense of profound connection and consolation.

Palliative Care

For children and their families, Clown Doctors bring smiles and special memories. Clown Doctors visit Bear Cottage in NSW, a hospice for children.
