Trauma and place: Avoiding triggers in design and engagement

SEP 8, 202530 MIN

Description

If we want to create inclusive, supportive and safe places, we can't ignore trauma. At least half of all people will experience a trauma at some point in their lives and may be triggered by sights, sounds, questions or spaces that remind them of a past traumatic event. Olaide Oboh, a director at the developer Socius and managing director of Populate, speaks about how she learned about trauma-informed practice and why as a developer they are adopting trauma-informed practice at scale on the London Cancer Hub, a £1bn development to create a leading centre for research and treatment in Sutton. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
