Bedrooms should represent safety and security; they should be places to unwind and relax. But for kids who’ve experienced abuse — which in many cases takes place in their own rooms — they can instead become associated with feelings of fear and pain. The nonprofit Room Redux is dedicated to changing that.

Founded by Susie Vybiral in 2017, the organization provides total room transformations for children who have been victimized — turning spaces that were once the sites of traumatic experiences into sanctuaries.
