Abstract
This study examines spatial trends in treatment facilities throughout the city of Groningen in The Netherlands. Specifically, this study focuses on two hospitals within the city; The UMCG and The Martini Ziekenhuis. The methods, results and conclusions herein are aimed at enhancing the understanding of spatial techniques as tools in mitigating mental health issues. An effect of this process is suicide risk awareness within such vulnerable communities. This project is structured with the "Actor Consulting Model" in mind, a model that distinguishes between three contribution types. The explicit conclusion reached as a result of this study is that there are areas in which hospitals are failing to adequately support the needs of their patient population in relation to spatial planning, and associated community policies. Such failings are grounds for spatial transformation to take place.
