Webinar: Collaborating to Save Lives Through Good Design (SHP & Ryder Architecture)
Safehinge Primera & Ryder Architecture on Ligature-Resistant Doors at Sowenna CAMHS
We’re delighted to share the content and resources of our webinar with Ryder Architecture as part of our involvement in Design in Mental Health Digital Week 2020.
Ryder Architecture, in partnership with Cornwall Partnership NHS Trust, designed Sowenna CAMHS to create a facility that is not only close to home, but one which carefully considers the needs of the young people, their families, and the clinical staff providing essential care.
At 51%, doors represent the most significant source of ligature-based suicides in inpatient mental health settings.
That’s why, during our webinar, we discuss with Ryder the importance of including the right doors for Sowenna and how this forms part of the architectural journey.
