The new psychiatric unit at Skaraborgs Hospital is a modern, integrated centre for inpatient and outpatient psychiatric care that promotes cooperation between somatic and psychiatric care. In this way, the stigma surrounding mental health is reduced by putting it on a par with other E&A care. Scandinavian architecture combined with design choices derived from research on mental health facilities, such as healing architecture, visual contact with nature and stress-reducing methods such as low social density and single patient rooms, result in a safe environment in which to work and be treated.
