Notes on boxes

The tops and bottoms for the three nesting boxes are shipped F.O.B. from West Haven, Connecticut in boxes containing 150 pieces of each of the six tops and bottoms. Each box (13” x 10” x 6”) weighs about 7 pounds and can be easily handled and stored. Larger quantity purchases may be made, i.e. 5,000, 7,500, 10,000, 20,000, sets etc. Higher quantity orders reduce the unit cost significantly.

Healing Boxes® may be purchased with the current, standard design or custom designed with the client’s graphics, logo, URL, QR – barcode, and/or branded images. Additional charges apply for custom designs.

Training

In order to achieve maximum benefit from the use of the origami boxes a Healing Boxes® program comes with two hours of training. For those facilities within 100 miles of New Haven, CT, this training can be done in person. For those facilities further away, two hours of Zoom training is available. Those who are trained will be equipped to train others. Here is what you will learn:

Identify who is a good candidate for making boxes, both the patient and/or the support person in attendance
Training on how to make the boxes, and how to train others in how to make the boxes.
How to listen with an empathetic ear to the status of the patient, i.e. What are his or her immediate concerns, level of pain or anxiety, status of treatment, outlook for survival, etc. and engage in a meaningful conversation
Strategies for your facility to collect feedback on mood improvement, anxiety reduction, and the quality of the hospital experience so that your facility has good data for documenting patient care satisfaction.
