Sandhill Uses Floatation Tank To Alleviate Anxiety

In the past year Sandhill has successfully implemented the use of a floatation tank!

This intervention is proving incredibly beneficial in helping our kids alleviate anxiety, depression, improve sleep, and maintain regulation.

Sandhill was very fortunate to be the recipient of a generous donation from The Epsom Salt Council, as they are interested in how floating may benefit the children at Sandhill. We are monitoring heart rate and blood pressure before and after floats, and have made floatation a formal intervention on many of our children's treatment plans.

Sandhill Child Development Center is a residential program for children between the ages of 5 and 14 who are experiencing significant difficulties functioning in their current home environments, schools, or communities due to an inability to regulate their emotional states. The goal is to create an environment that facilitates intense, gratifying personal relationships, while at the same time confronting those behaviors that interfere with establishing close personal bonds. Sandhill gives the child the tools necessary to proceed with healthy childhood development.
