| Our
Healing Environment
The Institute for Children
and Families is environmentally different from most therapy
facilities. The colors on the walls are not what you find in
most other children's facilities. The soft and soothing
colors were chosen because of the calming effect they have
on the nervous system.
Virtually everything in the facility from the paint, to the
carpet and carpet glue, to the furniture, was carefully
chosen because of the minimal levels of Volatile Chemicals
contained in them, which can affect an already sensitive
nervous system.
Also chosen was the lighting in the facility. Natural, not
florescent lighting is incorporated throughout the office
complex. The effect is to produce an environmentally
friendly, calming facility for our young clients and their
families.
