SUMMARY:Trauma-Informed Design
DESCRIPTION:Our physical environment can impact our emotions and behaviors\, both negatively and positively. It has the ability to increase or reduce our stress levels. The spaces in which we live and receive services should communicate safety and promote supportive relationships. Otherwise\, they can symbolize lack of dignity and agency\, which is further intensified for individuals who have experienced trauma. This session will examine how Trauma-informed Design (TiD) can be used to create physical spaces that promote safety\, resilience\, and healing. Attendees will be introduced to our current understanding of trauma\, how it can impact a person\, and explore ways in which the built environment can exacerbate or alleviate those impacts.  \n
