Mental Health

 Multi-Sensory Environments can be completely personalized to create a safe space for you to completely relax, and be receptive to therapeutic interventions. Snoezelen rooms make it possible for the client to create immersive environments where someone doesn’t feel threatened, and can feel safe and calm. For example, if a client’s favorite experience is being in the shadows, walking among trees and in the rain – the color of the lighting equipment featured in the room (e.g. bubble tubes, fiber optics etc.) can be set to darkened shades of green, a video could be played of a woodland walk, sounds of the trees, their favourite music can be played.

 The therapeutic goal may have simply been to create a calming space where someone can relax – lying down or seated in a comfortable beanbag or chair, away from the norms of everyday life environments. Maybe the client cannot do this elsewhere. They may benefit from various tactile items to squeeze, touch or spin– these repetitive motions can be self-soothing!
