CAN HELP
TO HEAL
Creating the right environment for people with mental health is paramount to their recovery and we don’t believe the standard is high enough. We’re here to raise the bar.
Founded in 2006, our Design in Mental Health Network is the only dedicated, non-for-profit organisation focused on designing solution-led environments for mental health patients that will support their well-being and recovery journey.
Our growing network is open to anyone with an interest in the design of mental health facilities and is inclusive of Clinical Experts and Architects through to Manufacturers and Estate owners. Collectively, they share their expertise and empower organisations to create well-designed environments that will make a difference.
Together, through design, we can help change lives.
