Using evidenced based research and design techniques we accelerate recovery from trauma by creating physical environments aligned to the therapeutic objectives of residential services.
Trauma-Informed Design is your silent partner, helping your clients to heal so they transition to the next stage of their lives as quickly and smoothly as possible.
At Design for Hope, we know that our physical environment plays a crucial role in our health and wellbeing. Scientific research shows that design elements in our surroundings influence our body and mind in subtle and complex ways, often beyond our conscious awareness. This impact is even more profound for individuals with heightened sensitivities due to traumatic experiences.
While many clinicians adopt trauma-informed care policies, the physical environments of treatment facilities often lack the corresponding therapeutic impact. Design for Hope bridges this gap. Combining our interdisciplinary expertise in psychology and interior design, we create trauma-sensitive spaces that support healing and recovery. Our approach ensures that the physical environment complements and enhances therapeutic objectives, completing your vision of comprehensive trauma-informed care.
We utilise our proprietary Trauma-Informed Hierarchy of Needs framework to identify and prioritise design elements that help achieve desired therapeutic outcomes. This evidence-based approach, grounded in scientific research, guides our design process and ensures that our spaces promote healing and wellbeing.
Explore how Design for Hope can transform your treatment facility into a supportive, healing environment.
