LIT395R: Behavioral Health Brochure

Outfit the Environment of Care.

Behavioral Health Apparel and Furnishings

Create safer spaces.

Design with comfort and safety in mind.

Striking a balance between patient safety and a welcoming environment is a challenge most behavioral health facilities face. Design trends have been moving from institutional toward a more residential feel for good reason—it has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety among patients.1,2 But while a calm and comfortable atmosphere may be more likely to promote better outcomes for both patients and caregivers, it is equally important to ensure that everything within the facility, from apparel and textiles to furnishings, is designed to reduce the risk of injury. With the need for inpatient care overwhelming the available space, it is vital that every step is taken to give each patient the best possible chance for successful treatment.

We understand that navigating the complexities of behavioral healthcare standards can be challenging. Our holistic approach puts patient care first—through tailored product options that let you safely outfit your entire environment of care.

54% Nearly one in five U.S. adults live with a mental illness (46.6 million in 2017).2

More than half of people who died by suicide did not have a known mental health condition.3

Care with confidence.

Our behavioral health collection delivers the products your facility needs to outfit the environment of care. Every piece is carefully designed for comfort while also safeguarding your patients with built-in protections.
