The Vision

Imagine a place where a child’s senses come alive—a soft touch to comfort, gentle lights to calm, and soothing sounds to inspire.

This is the vision for our new multi-sensory Calming Room at the Zing Zumm Children’s Museum of Jacksonville, a space designed to spark imagination and help children heal and grow.

We all know that when one family member is struggling, all are impacted.

Hope For The Warriors prioritizes family wellness by offering licensed play therapy and counseling for children of veterans at our Stephen A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Hope For The Warriors in Jacksonville. To further support mental health and family well-being, we are excited to reach more families by creating and offering a sensory-rich Calming Room at the Children's Museum. It will be a safe haven where children can heal and grow, strengthening their families in the process.

In this special room, children will explore a sensory world of wonder in ways that:

Reduce stress and anxiety -  Studies show that multi-sensory rooms like this can reduce disruptive behaviors and provide a calming, supportive environment.

Strengthen connections - These spaces promote trust and communication, helping children build meaningful relationships with their loved ones.

Renew creativity and joy - Multi-sensory environments encourage exploration, enhancing a child's quality of life and sparking their imagination.
