To ground attendees in the importance of trauma-informed principles, we are kicking off the spring portion of the Academy with a session on trauma informed design.
Trauma informed design is essential to building physical environments that promote well-being and empowerment. This session cover basic concepts such as: defining what trauma informed design is, why it is important, who benefits, and other fundamental aspects.
This webinar will include:
- An educational presentation on trauma informed design
- A presentation from an architect to show how trauma informed design has been incorporated into real supportive housing projects
- A panel with several people with lived expertise, to help us understand the practical importance of this concept
- Ample time for Q&A

This session will introduce the Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) Development Guide: a tool born out of CSH’s RACE Initiative that is designed to assist development teams in navigating the complex process of producing supportive housing projects. The guide is designed to encourage and address barriers to development which may be experienced by smaller, newer developers and firms represented by Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) developers.
This session will be immediately followed by an optional 60 minutes of Q&A time (12-1 p.m.) so that attendees can ask more in-depth questions about any of the topics discussed during the session.
