Nationally, 1 in 5 children face a behavioral health disorder, with a dramatic increase since the pandemic. The crisis is compounded by lower-than-average funding, a lack of psychiatric beds and high occupancy rates of behavioral health facilities. Focusing on Montage Health Ohana Campus as a case study, the project will present a new approach to adolescent mental health, by optimizing the application of neuroscience research to inform the planning concept and design. The Ohana Center seeks to alleviate the mental health crisis by designing positive outcomes for patients, as well as reduce staff health issues by implementing neuroscience principles to mitigate burnout and boost immune function. Design principles will show how we can improve cognitive function and stress management while promoting a place of agency and possibility. Montage Health Ohana Campus is a unique program that seeks to amplify positive outcomes for young people with behavioral health issues through connections with people supported by the environment. - Environments create our sense of what is possible. The setting never does all the therapeutic work, but the right setting makes it possible for the clinician and patient to do the work together. - Dr. Susan Swick, Physician in Chief and Director; Ohana Campus
