World Wide Staging Service Week is coming up next month. The NorCal IAHSP Chapter I belong to has decided to participate this year, and we'll be working with The Esplanade House here in Chico, CA.
The Esplanade House has been helping people get back to clean and sober living for nearly 20 years! People from all walks of life who get caught up into drugs, lose their kids, no job, no money (or worse) sometimes just coming in with only a backpack of items. The Esplanade House is dedicated to getting lives turned around and help create some stability. They are miracle workers.
They have a large room that is used for everything! Although the space we will be working with needs to remain as a multi-purpose room, the theme is directed for the group therapy sessions that happen here, and that is HEALING. People need a safe & friendly place to open up and share deep dark wounds of life; this is where my team and I will come in.
Looking at the picture below, anyone can tell just rearranging this furniture could make it more peaceful in there. Its chaotic and almost hard to look at, isn't it?
This is a little different than a staging project, more of a makeover really, but we are still the right people to do it. With our attention to the details, all the various uses of the space will still be readily available and look good doing it. Therapy is a sensitive process, and although the "patients"don't see anything wrong now, I bet they (and you) will tell a huge difference when its all said and done.
Here is a sneak peek of a before shot:

We will need a TV area, an exercise corner, group therapy area, and keep it kid-friendly.
What would you do in here?
