DIMHN, through our board members Professor Paula Reavey of London Southbank University, and Professor Steven Brown of Nottingham Trent, has led the field in evidencing best practice in the mental health built environment, by collating and disseminating the evidence in a series of highly acclaimed booklets, DESIGN WITH PEOPLE IN MIND. 

These are available to members as a download and printed copies are available at our conference. 

The seven books of the DESIGN WITH PEOPLE IN MIND series provide an overview of research suitable for a target audience of busy designers and practitioners. 

Professor Paula Reavey, Professor of Psychology, Honorary Research Consultant: St. Andrew’s Healthcare, and Clinical Psychology Director for Postgraduate Research: School of Applied Sciences, said,

‘Research is going on all over the world and keeping track is hard work. We should be celebrating the amount of interest there is in the connections between design and mental health. It’s a lot of leg work, but it’s worth it.’
