Behavioral Health Design: Learning from the Past to Design for the Future

Stance Healthcare is pleased to sponsor a new IDCEC accredited CEU course on Behavioral Health. In this presentation, participants will learn about the origins of mental health and Behavioral Health treatment facilities, and how this history – and the evolution of such environments over time – should influence our approach to Behavioral Health design, today and in the future.
