The final webinar in the three part Designing Environments that Heal series will talk about the sensory environment and the people who are living and working in the environment.

We will investigate the circular relationships of the occupants of the environment – the culture of healing. Finally, strategic planning and action steps will be presented in order for participants to be able to outline a healing spaces project that can occur in their own facility.
*This webinar is part 3 of 3 of the Webinar Series on the Environments of Care.
