Like the décor, signage is designed to be more welcoming and less institutional.

A new behavior health facility emphasizes safe, warm environment.

In a time of increasing need for addiction recovery and mental health services, one public-private partnership in Orange County, California is addressing the challenge with a new venture, aptly named Be Well. Organizers secured a site for the behavioral health facility, razed the existing structure, and built a 60,000-square-foot, three-story complex from the ground up. The standalone facility was designed to be able to serve patients from initial admission all the way through to their need for a transitional residence and continued support in recovery.

An accent on warmth.

Another consideration important to behavioral health facilities is making patients feel at ease. Be Well wanted to make sure their décor felt more welcoming (and less institutional) so patients would feel more at home.

Be Well worked with a branding firm on both public communications and facility décor, ensuring that the brand's messages were consistent with its environment. And Takeform consulted with the client and their branding firm when it came time to design signage that would family with the brand look and feel they were establishing.

In fact, what happens at Be Well is the core of the brand message in the facility's first campaign—and it carries over into the décor with feature walls that echo that message: “Trust happens here." “Community happens here." “Hope happens here."

As Be Well sets out on its course to serve such great need, Takeform is proud to partner with them on their healing space.
