February is International Boost Self-esteem Month. We’re taking some time to illustrate the impact of a purpose-built environment on residents’ self-esteem.

Self-esteem is how we view our worth and potential – it directly correlates to our thoughts and actions. We know self-esteem is a crucial contributor to overall well-being, and at Norix, we are committed to uplifting patients and residents through intentionally designed products and thoughtful product placement.

Allowing residents to decide where to place their belongings or what type of chair to sit in has a significant impact on their healing journey. Making choices, even small ones, creates a sense of independence and fosters autonomy. We can also help boost emotional regulation through decision-making. This reduces a sense of helplessness and builds confidence in shaping outcomes.

We take all these things into consideration when designing new products or creating space plans for customers, because healing only happens when you’re emotionally ready for it.

Check out products designed to boost self-esteem, like the Arcadian Open Chest or the Clark Compartment. If you’re interested in space planning assistance or want to learn more about how Norix dives deeper, contact us today.
