Trauma-Informed Approaches - Safe Spaces and Places: Designing and Delivering Services that are Trauma-Informed

Tuesday, June 20, 2023 1:00pm-2:30pm

Presenters: Lindsey Bishop Gilmore and Ariana Saunders

via Zoom (social work credits pending approval)

A key principle of trauma-informed approaches is safety. Safety includes both physical and emotional or psychological safety. But how can housing and service providers promote both physical and emotional safety? This course will explore how organizations can develop programs and services that help persons to be as “safe” as possible. Understanding that systems and programs in themselves may not feel “safe” participants will take a critical eye to their physical settings and how services are provided to understand where there is an opportunity to create brave space, promote safety and minimize re-traumatization.
