Exploring Trauma Informed Design: Design Considerations (Ep. 2/3)

In this second episode of the series on trauma-informed design, Lauren Gant and Rikki Crowe explore how workplace environments can profoundly impact human experiences, particularly in addressing trauma and promoting well-being. They discuss the importance of creating supportive spaces that minimize dysregulation, the value of wellness rooms, and the role of furniture layout in fostering connection and comfort. The conversation also emphasizes the need for design variety to cater to diverse needs and meet the evolving expectations of a workforce increasingly prioritizing mental health and well-being, especially among younger generations.
