The Sanctuary; Help build a world where we can thrive together.
“Rescue animals can be used as means for providing important social interactions and creating emotional foundations for youth in the LGBT community. By creating an environment that facilitates cohabitation between the LGBT population and the rescue animals, this will encourage both populations to harbour meaningful connections with each other in order to promote improved mental health. This is achieved by creating a cohesive sanctuary design where the two populations can thrive together in a combination of mixed use spaces.”
