ChildSafe Harvey E. Najim Children & Family Center

San Antonio, Texas, USA

ChildSafe impacts more than just the people that it serves. The intentional design of the building affects not only the clients who walk through their doors, but the employees and other visitors as well, eliciting feelings of safety, warmth and care. Created around biophilic principles with trauma-informed care strategies, it is More than Just a Building – it is a restorative experience.

“When I’m giving tours my voice changes. When I am talking in this building my voice changes. Can you tell? When I even talk about the building my voice changes. To be able to do a building that does that, is pretty significant. And the kids get it. They say they feel safe here.” – Kim Abernathy, CEO and President of ChildSafe
