TV Protection Cabinets For Mental Health

Televisions are an important factor for the well-being of Service Users in mental health facilities. They have been shown to reduce feelings of stress and anxiety by providing a soothing and calming experience. 

Our Anti-Ligature secure TV cabinets protect televisions in high-risk environments whilst complimenting your current aesthetics with a sleek, modern design. 

TV's are protected by the cabinet by being fully encapsulated in a stylish wooden cabinet. The sloping sides ensure there are no ligature points. 

The cabinet hides away all cables, switches and buttons for authorised access only.

Anti-Ligature TV Cabinet vs Standard TV

An in depth reflection on current customer issues revealed that standard television cabinets or unprotected televisions were not suitable for mental health settings.

Televisions are the subject of frequent vandalism, costings wards time, effort and money.

When service users discover that an object such as a television can be broken or damaged, it can then become a target. By protecting it you eliminate the process of replacing it.

Televisions are often used in environments with challenging behaviour as they can be used to calm patients down.

Patients in mental health wards or pupils in special educational needs environments seek comfort in hyper stimulation. This can include exploring items through heavy touch, making an impact proof TV ideal.

With that in mind, the Anti-Ligature TV Cabinet has been built for durability as well as safety.
