When your patients are kids, how do you make them feel safe, happy and comfortable in your wellness space apart from throwing them some toys and calling it a day? What about special needs kids and their stressed out parents who are also your clients? Tune in today for a special episode with me, your hostess, Cheryl Janis, and J. Davis Harte—a big hearted wellness interior designer and educator who specializes in children’s places, trauma-informed spaces and birth environments.

Here are some highlights:

👉 Hear about the dentist who created a kid-scale front door to help his pediatric patients feel safe and welcomed in his office.
👉 Learn how a fish tank set inside a wall serves as a positive distraction for special needs kids in the waiting room and allows the staff on the other side of the wall to keep an eye on their clients.
👉 Gain insight into cultural messages about color that play a role in the design of your healthcare space.
👉 Learn what types of furniture are best for the waiting room and how to create a perceived sense of privacy for families.
