Salutogenesis: Cognitive and Behavioral Impact of Design

September 24, 2019 | 12 PM EST | $4.95 for affiliates

We intuitively know that some rooms make us feel more comfortable than others. We may attribute it to the decor, the color palate, the furniture, but how do you know what elements of the room work together to provide that feeling? In this session you'll join architect Angela Mazzi as she shares research based principles of design that have a proven impact on well being. 

Whether you are a home hoping to encourage interaction in your living room, or a center hoping to empower clients in the counseling room,  this training will help you understand what aspects of a room or space have the most significant effect on well being. We will also identify practical steps you can take to ensure your clients feel safe and supported in every aspect of their interaction with your organization. 

Presented by Angela Mazzi
