The Garth

I work with the young at heart. I feel very strongly that a feeling of dignity is vital to the well-being of an individual. A sense of mutual respect and purpose is paramount to self-esteem. We painted a fantastical tree on the wall of the sitting room, so that we may add leaves with written comments of what we believe gives us the feeling of worthiness and dignity. The residents and staff were very excited about the thought of painting a huge tree on the wall! We discussed the design and colours as a group, and then chose animals that we wished to include. Finally we added the leaves with comments of what dignity means to us.
