Jac and Baz relate to how for them humour creates the conditions for trust and transparency. Jac shares it took her a while to feel confident with male carers, Baz’s “warped sense of humour” has helped with this.

They have a strong bond between them and shared humour is what has got them through tough times. They share several examples of this.

They choose to make light of the difficulties they deal with each day, this is important to their well-being, it helps them survive. Humour and being silly is a passionate thing that brings them closer.
