According to the World Health Organization, around 450 million people, worldwide, suffer from mental disorders. Studies show that the built environment can provide positive effects on your emotional and mental wellness. Stephanie Vito, AIA, from CannonDesign joins the show to discuss the difference between medical and behavioral health hospitals, challenges, societal changes, design elements, and much more! And Jayson and Frances Schivley, share their clinical experiences. We also play "What Was That Like?!," asking, what was it like to tour your first facility?

If you’re thinking about suicide, are worried about a friend or loved one, or would like emotional support, the Lifeline network is available 24/7 across the United States. (800)-273-TALK
