The role of Ligature-Resistant Design in Behavioral Health
The term ‘ligature-resistant’ describes any object that is designed to reduce the ability of securing a ligature to it. As such, ligature-resistant design plays a crucial role in protecting those who are most vulnerable in behavioral health environments through reducing the risk of self-harm or suicide by use of a ligature.
Best practices within design for behavioral health facilities have greatly improved in recent years through collaborative efforts to create safer environments. Ligature-resistant design is one of the factors that has played a key role in this.
