Domestic Violence Shelter Therapeutic Garden
IRIS Domestic Violence Shelter houses women and their children who are seeking refuge. This landscape gives way for healing and unique spaces for women, children, and teens. Exposure to nature is proven to reduce stress and aid the healing process. Restorative landscapes provide a physical space that supports people dealing with disruptions in their lives with evidence-based design techniques. In addition, guests of domestic violence centers need to have a sense of security and safety with a universally accessible landscape.
