Modern, well-designed mental health treatment spaces can contribute to healing, according to an article on the Psychology Today website.
Designers and healthcare staff are urged to work closely together when designing or renovating mental health treatment spaces.

For instance, design can help health systems create spaces that make patients feel less “institutionalized” and more dignified throughout the treatment process.
