Step inside the sensory room at the SECU Youth Crisis Center. 🫧
 
The SECU Youth Crisis Center (YCC), located in Charlotte, is a safe space for youth in behavioral health crisis to begin healing. Many of the young people who arrive at the YCC  are struggling with overwhelming emotions, significant stress or the effects of trauma.
 
While sensory rooms can serve many purposes, the room at the SECU YCC was intentionally designed to support youth in behavioral crisis learn to regulate their emotions, feel safe and engage in the recovery process. The space has proven to be an important therapeutic resource for youth receiving treatment at the facility.
 
Thanks to funding awarded through Monarch Healthcare’s internal grant program, youth at the SECU YCC now have access to additional sensory supports designed to help them regulate their emotions, including weighted blankets and a 72-inch bubble sensory tube!
