Consider the needs of behavioral health patients in every healthcare space you design...
The mental health crisis around the world continues to grow at alarming rates that affects individuals from all ages, ethnicities and socio-economic positions.
One in five adults suffer from some form of mental illness, and these challenges reach far beyond the traditional behavioral health unit.
Now, more than ever, it is imperative that these settings respond to complexities of care, provide flexibility to fluid care needs, and offer equity to patients.
To meet the increased demand for care and enhance staff safety, today’s design, facility and care professionals have to advance their understanding of evolving care methodologies and how flexible and safe environmental design can best support patient outcomes.
This live, in-person workshop leverages discussions from across the industry, provides the latest in design thinking for behavioral and mental health care settings and offers state-of-the-art best practices through thought leader presentations, case studies and panel discussions. Attendees will have opportunities to pose questions to workshop faculty and interact with fellow attendees in fun and innovative ways.
