In today’s world, more attention is being given to how our environments impact our mental health and well-being. Trauma-informed design takes this a step further—creating spaces that promote calm, safety, and dignity for all occupants.

​

Key principles of trauma-informed design:

• Safety and security: Reducing hypervigilance with thoughtful layouts and privacy options.

• Empowerment and dignity: Encouraging control over personal space.

• Calm and connection: Using lighting, materials, and spatial flow to reduce anxiety and foster comfort.
