Abstract

Environmental factors, as with other elements of mental health care have received increasing research attention to facilitate evidence based practice. The environment is said to be a vital tool in therapeutic processes which can enable staff, reduce ‘burn out’ and provide a therapeutic landscape (Nicholls et al. 2015). To provide optimal care the impact of the environment needs recognition and research evidence should be used to promote therapeutic milieu. This chapter focuses on the physical or built environment but also includes consideration of the cultural impact. Some reflections drawn from the author’s own professional experience are presented to highlight aspects of the recovery environment. Whilst the characters within these case studies have been anonymised they are written in the first person to preserve authenticity
