This two-part virtual series will explore trauma-informed practice and how elements can be useful to the work of designers, planners, public health professionals, and those supporting community development.
Session 2 (Wed, March 10, 10-11:30AM) will feature a panel of practitioners who are putting trauma-informed practice to work in communities across the country.
Why Design for Humanity?
The past year has laid bare stark inequities in American society -- inequities that for generations have put intense physical, emotional, mental, and financial stress on individuals, families, and communities.
As cities and institutions work to repair the harm caused by hundreds of years of unjust, racist, and classist policies and practices in this country; as decision-makers choose to re-invest in historically neglected neighborhoods; as professionals engage in the work of redesigning spaces in collaboration with historically disenfranchised communities -- we all must reimagine the way we do our work.
Design for Humanity offers a space to challenge established practices, consider how to center justice in our work, and reimagine the ways we collaborate and co-create.
