Design in Mental Health Network

Who we are

Our growing network is open to anyone with an interest in the design of mental health environments. Our members cut across disciplines – architects, designers, lived experience experts, estates planners, clinicians.

Together we can make a difference to mental health design and the impact it has on therapeutic outcomes. 

Our culture and values

The Design in Mental Health Network (DiMHN) is a charity dedicated to improving the design of mental health environments. We bring together professionals from various fields to share knowledge, conduct research, and promote best practices in the design of mental health facilities. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

At the Design in Mental Health Network (DiMHN), we are committed to creating an inclusive environment where all individuals are valued and respected. We believe that diversity brings strength and innovation to our organisation, and we are dedicated to promoting equality of opportunity for all.

We welcome applications from all sections of the community and are committed to promoting equal opportunities in  employment. We strive to ensure that our recruitment process is fair and accessible to all, and we will make reasonable adjustments to accommodate any individual needs.

We actively seek to improve representation and participation of underrepresented groups within our organisation and encourage applications from individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences to help us better reflect the  communities we serve and to enhance our understanding of the issues faced by those with lived experience of mental
health challenges.
