Falling Colors

Today is Autism Acceptance Day. Beyond awareness and acceptance, we seek to foster an environment where neurodivergent individuals can thrive. When the pandemic pushed our company into remote work in 2020, our employees were able to hone in on how they work best. Most of our employees continue to work from home and remain empowered to control their personal space, including making adjustments for sound and light sensitivities. Employees are also encouraged to utilize flex time to do their best work when they work best. As circumstances change, we will continue to help our employees thrive in their preferred work environments.

Provider spotlight: Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico

On this Transgender Day of Visibility, we recognize and revere the relentless resilience of the transgender community that continues to live authentically in the face of injustice. The road to self-discovery and affirmation can be arduous, and the support from places like the Transgender Resource Center of New Mexico can be critical.

Access to food, healthcare, employment, housing, and peer support is made possible through TGRCNM.

We are proud to play a role in delivering funds to this worthy organization. Learn more at https://buff.ly/2ZtH9G5.

Water is what gives us life. We depend on safe and consistent access to water to stay alive and thrive, but that access is under constant threat. Whether impacted by climate change or disasters like the Red Hill or Norfolk Southern chemical spills, it is our duty to manage the health and viability of our water sources. Here in Santa Fe, our biggest concern is water conservation. As a business, Falling Colors has taken steps to install a water reclamation system at our headquarters to sustain the beautiful gardens. As individuals, there are a variety of steps we can take to monitor and conserve our water usage: Save Water Santa Fe https://buff.ly/3YBP111 is a great resource for tools and tips to conserve water through a variety of methods, including the Eye on Water app. Want to make an even bigger splash?

On a Friday in March each year, Falling Colors celebrates “Remember Who You Are Day”. With no federal holiday during the month of March, we observe one of our own. We encourage all our staff to do something that reminds them of who they are at their core, whether it’s creating, giving back, or simply getting outside. Falling Colors is closed today and will resume regular business on Monday, March 20th.
