dc.description.abstractThis practicum project examines the relationship between military cultural identity and stigma in its association with mental health within the military in regard to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Utilizing social theory and psychological research, it proposes the redesign of the North Pavilion building on the Deer Lodge campus in Winnipeg. This project analyzes the potential of alternative healing environments centered around wellness to successfully challenge stigmas that deter those with PTSD from seeking treatment and promote reintegration. This process has resulted in an exploration of how interior design can reimagine mental healthcare environments in a more socially aware manner that addresses issues imbedded within military culture deterring individuals from seeking care. The underlying outcome is an interdisciplinary investigation that challenges stigma, promotes reintegration and aids in improving quality of life for individuals seeking treatment for PTSD and who may be undergoing a challenging transition from military to civilian life.en_US
