Finding Joy Through Improv with Empire Star Antoine McKay

The first rule of Improv.....Say YES, and...

As I sat through my son's improv classes over the past few months, I soon realized how instrumental Improv can be in working with those with dementia, dealing with chronic conditions and finding joy in caregiving.  This was a huge Ah Ha moment for me.  Finding joy for patients, caregivers and the entire health care team is essential.  

I am excited and honored to be able to sit down in conversation with Antoine McKay.
