Jackson-Feild receives new cottage furniture
Jackson-Feild Behavioral Health Services
(JFBHS) has recently installed special behavioral health furniture in
the great room of every cottage. This furniture has replaced crate style
furniture which posed as a safety hazard. This new furniture is
especially designed to serve mental health populations. It is rugged,
durable and hygienic (antimicrobial). It can be easily cleaned and
sanitized. It is made of vacuum formed plastic and can withstand the
rigors of teenagers with mental health disorders. It also has soft
rounded corners for safety.
Funding was provided from a variety
of sources including grant funding. Bruton Parish Episcopal Church made a
nice gift in support of this effort. Jackson-Feild is very grateful for
the help from Episcopalians, ECWs and churches who helped fund this
pressing need.
