With an increasing incidence rate of diagnosed cases of autism, neuro-complexity, and other behavioral and mental health concerns, facilities are having to adapt and respond to a new frontier of space making. Looking across the Commonwealth of Virginia, there are several programs that have been envisioning a future with more inclusive care environments that increase access to care, develop safe spaces, and address the ever-growing list of diagnosis and conditions that facilities are working to address. From clinics focused on Developmental Behavioral Health Needs to overall environments focused on psychiatric safety, the panel will dive into current issues facing facilities, design strategies to harden and make safe existing spaces, and new programs, and physical examples that are helping to advance safe and effective environments for treatment and healing.

Attendees should park at the Maymont Hampton Street Parking Lot located at 1700 Hampton St., Richmond, VA 23220. They will then follow the signs to the Garden Hall for the event.
