Trauma-Informed Design Consultants
Our Work
We offer professional development opportunities and TiD Consultation for specific projects. Here is a sampling of some of the projects that make us most proud.
Transitional Housing for Women and Children Affected by Domestic Violence
Connections for Abused Women and their Children (CAWC) provides a shelter for adults and children, counseling, advocacy, and a 24-hour hotline for people affected by domestic violence. We partnered with Canopy / architecture + design to provide a trauma-informed lens to CAWC's new location for their administrative offices and transitional residences.
Preparing a New Generation of Interior Designers
Worked with a senior Texas State University class as they designed a 23,000 square foot, 3-story property for youth who were trafficked. The final project included both program and residential space, and focused on mitigating potential triggers, maximizing comfort, and centralizing choice. In order to realizing how the environment could affect identity, worth and dignity, and promote empowerment, the class had to first understand the dynamics of human trafficking.
Collaborating with Wrexham University to Develop TiD Evaluation Tool for Institutes of Higher Education
This initiative is a pivotal element of Wrexham University's Trauma and ACE (TrACE) aware project and will build on the Trauma-informed Design Society's work of creating a similar, award-winning tool for primary and secondary schools, known as the Trauma-informed Design Evaluation Tool for K-12 Schools (TiDEvalK12).
