Trauma-Informed Design
1 LU / HSW
Educational challenges and the amplified exposure to systemic inequities wrought by the global pandemic are having wide- ranging effects on students and educators everywhere—particularly those who have or are, experiencing trauma. (Even before COVID-19 struck, the National Survey of Children’s Exposure to Violence found that over 60% of all children under the age
of 18 had experienced some form of trauma, crime, or abuse in the prior year, with some experiencing multiple traumas.) This comes at a tremendous price to society. In fact, 85% of children in Head Start, 90% of youth in the juvenile justice system, and 93% of adolescents in psychiatric treatment programs have experienced trauma. While complex and prolonged trauma can have profound effects on physical, mental, and behavioral health outcomes across the lifespan, promising practices have begun to emerge that can buffer children, adults, and families from the effects of adverse experiences and to prevent their most negative consequences. This session will offer trauma-informed care practices, tools, interventions, and designs that promote healing and resiliency in children and adults so that people, systems, and communities can function at their full capacity and potential in school, in the workplace, and in community, family and interpersonal relationships. Designed to engage participants, this (hopefully 120 minute) interactive plenary in-person session will be both concrete and conceptual. (We are happy to provide sketches or videos soon after we are accepted.) An interdisciplinary panel will offer concrete trauma-informed design patterns and processes to help school and community planners, designers, and architects design for resilience and healing today. The panel will also offer conceptual ideas for future educational designs and share their optimism for new ways of teaching and learning, offering innovative design ideas for 2070 and beyond.
