Behavioral and Mental Health Workshop

 
 

 

Which design strategies best
support the next generation of
care and care spaces?

How patients are treated for behavioral and mental health illness is an ever-evolving process of evidence-based science and clinical practice. And as treatments evolve, it’s essential that the environments where this care is delivered keep pace and adapt.

The physical locations in which patients receive behavioral and mental health care are also expanding, far beyond the behavioral health unit into a myriad of care settings.

Design can’t stand still.

To ensure that built environments support the next generation of care, today’s design, facility, product and care professionals have to advance their understanding of where treatment practices are headed and what the implications are for the care spaces they are charged with creating.

This virtual workshop provides the latest in design thinking for behavioral health care and settings and offers state-of-the-art best practices through thought leader presentations, case studies, and panel discussions.
