Description

While millions of individuals cope with a form of mental illness or substance abuse annually, the need for treatment facilities continues to grow. These areas require specialized interior finishes that can accommodate the unique safety needs of their residents while simultaneously allowing them to retain a sense of humanity throughout the rehabilitation process. This course provides an in-depth examination of the statistics surrounding behavioral and mental health (BMH) as well as facilitating treatment through successful BMH design.
