Trauma-Informed Design

Trauma-informed design integrates principles from trauma-informed care to create physical spaces that promote safety, well-being, and healing. This approach recognises the profound impact of the environment on individuals, aiming to foster empowerment and respect. Key principles include safety, transparency, trust, empowerment, collaboration, and cultural sensitivity. By addressing these factors, trauma-informed design seeks to create spaces that support resilience and recovery, making complex and sensitive experiences more manageable and promoting positive outcomes for all users​
