In this presentation we will examine the current state of behavioral health in America, provide an overview of behavioral health facility types, therapy methods, patient safety considerations, and guidelines for facility design. This course will showcase principles to guide design including how to create safe social spaces, leverage biophilic design principles, phenomenology and tap into color theory, textures, and lighting to enhance healing. Additionally, this course features real life examples of implementing these principles to assist in the healing process, preserve patient dignity, and balance the safety of patients and staff.
Objectives
• Recognize the heightened need for thoughtful design in behavioral health spaces.
• Investigate elements of human centered design and how to create beautiful, safe, and engaging spaces that preserve patient dignity.
• Understand design principles that contribute to a positive patient experience and support creating safe social spaces with biophilic design principals and tap into Phenomenology.
• Learn how to balance design with safety through careful product and material selection.
