Memorable Quotes:
“Using art in all its forms to help people with mental health and be continued to be engaged and stimulated by the content.”
“We continuously try to adapt their programming strategy based on their input and their needs. And we really try to be a valuable community resource to enhance their quality of life.”
“We’re constantly thinking of how to immerse our viewers in our content so that it’s not passive watching or passive listening. It’s active and immersive. You actually get to do things with what you just learned. So you want to enjoy it, you learn from it, and now you apply. And that is so wonderful and so beneficial for the brain.”
