As part of our community, you’ll receive up-to-date news and insights about trends in mental health design, research breakthroughs, and changes to policies or regulations.
We keep you informed on the latest industry developments so you’re always ahead of the curve and better prepared to shape and influence the future of mental healthcare environments.
Whether through our virtual meetups, in-person events, or workshops, you’ll have the chance to come together across sectors and disciplines, including lived experience, mental health care, design, manufacturing, technology, and research, to share knowledge, insights, and best practices in shaping better mental health environments.
Our members gain access to a compilation of research, real-world evidence and international learning to help drive evidence-based design. From the Design with People in Mind book series to the quarterly magazine The Network, and the latest research on mental health environments, we offer a wealth of information to enhance your understanding and implementation of mental health design.
Share your expertise by featuring your work, contributing content, or speaking at DiMHN events and webinars.
Our platforms help you showcase your leadership in the field of mental health design.
Enjoy discounted rates for exhibiting at our flagship Design in Mental Health Conference in June, (in partnership with Step Exhibitions), plus advertising offers in The Network magazine.
Showcase at the Mental Health & Dementia Facilities Forum (MHDF) in November (in partnership with Stable Events).
As a member, you will enjoy exclusive discounts on registration and have the opportunity to sponsor and advertise at these high-profile events.
These are great platforms for raising your profile, making connections, and sharing your work with an influential audience.
Mental health environments are at their best when they are shaped by those who have experienced them. As a DiMHN member, you can benefit from the knowledge and perspectives of our Lived Experience Advisory Network (LEAN) – a growing group of individuals whose lived experiences can help you unpick assumptions and guide you in creating more compassionate, therapeutic design solutions.
As recognised by the World Health Organisation, people with lived experience are powerful agents of change, reducing stigma, improving awareness, and informing what works and what doesn’t across mental health systems. Their insight is essential in shaping environments that truly support wellbeing.
We are proud to offer free membership to individuals working in the mental health sector, and this includes those with lived experience who want to learn more.
Whether you’re a student, clinician, or individual professional, we want you to be part of this growing network. We believe in creating a diverse and inclusive community where everyone has a voice, and we welcome members from all backgrounds and experiences to join us.
At DiMHN, we are committed to delivering value to our members and continually seek new ways to support your needs.
Our member-driven approach means that we actively seek your input and feedback, ensuring that our services, resources, and events align with your goals.
We understand that each member has unique needs and goals. Whether you are an individual practitioner, a large organisation, or a commercial partner, we want to know how we can best support you.
As we plan outreach events, both virtual and in-person, we want to hear from you.
- What knowledge are you looking for?
- What professional challenges are you facing?
- What connections are you seeking?
Please keep an eye on our member surveys and insight prompts, which we’ll circulate regularly. These help us gather feedback and tailor our membership offering to suit your needs.
