Comfort Boxes I

Comfort Boxes were developed as part of the Trauma Informed Care by the Creating Optimism Through Relationships and Education (CORE) Team at Harding Hospital. In creating your box, you are encouraged to be mindful and imagine how you would like to create comfort for yourself and what is important to you.

Think about what colors, pictures, ideas, memories, people, and quotes that express what is important to you. Try to touch on all five senses in creating your box. Marybeth McDonald began this program at OSU and she created this Comfort Box in retirement.
