Design for Hope is transforming another crisis shelter.
Essence of Home is a Design Psychology business, mixing interior design with science to encourage positive mental health. Their “Design for Hope” initiative is a social project, supporting victims of domestic and family violence.
Design for Hope are now transforming the sunroom of the shelter known as Jeannie’s, run by the Women’s and Girls’ Emergency Centre (WAGEC).
For Jeannie’s, the refurbishment will focus on trauma-informed design. The new space will reinforce feelings of worth and dignity, reduce stress and promote wellbeing, and help residents self-regulate and heal.
Essence of Home donate their services through their social initiative, and have secured the help of Dulux, Luxaflex, and the Granny Flat Foundation to renovate the space. Design for Hope are calling for any contributions from the community and businesses to help revamp Jeannie’s.
