This blog post (and space design) were developed by Advocate Krysten Tyrrell
“At SARCC, we’re exploring how thoughtful changes to physical spaces can support survivors and promote healing. From lighting and furniture placement to calming textures, natural elements, and opportunities for choice, trauma-informed design helps create spaces where people can feel more comfortable and secure.
✨ Small changes. A big difference.
This is Part 1 of our Trauma-Informed Space Series. Follow along as we explore ways our environments can support healing, dignity, and connection.
The environment around us can have a powerful impact on how we feel. For survivors seeking support, a space that feels safe, welcoming, and comfortable can help create a stronger foundation for healing.”
