Avery Dennison Reaching Forbes House Survivors

Avery Dennison volunteers visited Forbes House to make our shelter feel more like home for domestic violence survivors. Inspiring quotes and whimsical designs were added to the walls for our clients to enjoy. Domestic violence can make the world feel small and grey, but this new makeover will make for good spirits, and warmth. The murals will help the residents/survivors remember that they are not alone and remind them of their identities and strength. Art is therapeutic and can help a survivor of trauma feel safe and grounded in the present moment. Children will also enjoy the new playroom safari escape. Forbes House is dedicated to making clients feel at ease and protected and this is just one of the ways we reach our clients, through art and empowerment.

Very Special Thanks to…

Nancy Hilborn, Office Manager at Forbes House, and her husband Barry Hilborn, Research and Development Lab Leader at Avery Dennison.

Wanda Simmons- Executive Director, Forbes House.
