This presentation will dive into the practical realities of accomplishing well-being goals for law enforcement staff who are continuously exposed to high-stress situations. We will cover the six dimensions of wellness and their impact on law enforcement, as well as common spaces and design considerations used to help define and elevate how well-being is addressed. We will also talk through the process of introducing wellness design into different project types for a variety of policing contexts. We will share our lived experience in helping project decision-makers understand strategies designers and architects can use to alleviate the compounding stress and trauma. Examples include biophilic design, daylighting, natural ventilation, intuitive wayfinding, physical and passive security, acoustic control and other approaches that are proven to support mental health.
