Designing spaces with mental health + wellbeing in mind CEU
Roughly 1/3 of our population is affected by some sort of mental health issue. We need to be more proactive with our general spaces, making all feel welcome + safe. By thoughtfully designing common areas with fewer ligature risks and by implementing larger furniture/heavier pieces that are better designed for those with cognitive + behavioral issues, we will create a safer environment for all and increase everyone’s health + wellbeing wherever we go. With a focus on wellness and better design practices, we will impact behaviors + better our lives. We need to be more thoughtful on how we approach inclusive design as our public is facing more cognitive + behavioral issues daily. We unknowingly instigate + perpetuate individuals’ issues when we design spaces without considering overall health + wellness.
