May 2021

The challenges created by today’s growing mental health and substance abuse crises, further exposed by the pandemic, reach far beyond the behavioral health unit into emergency departments, outpatient clinics and throughout acute and ambulatory care settings.

To support improved care and enhance staff safety, today’s design, facility and care professionals must advance their understanding of the environment’s impact on behavioral health care and incorporate the best and latest research, tools and design solutions throughout all healthcare settings.
