Hopeworks has been using a trauma-informed approach for over a decade to dramatically improve our youth and business outcomes. We know that designing accessibility doesn’t just mean having the right technology. It also means building processes and systems to make sure everyone -- no matter where they are from or what they are experiencing -- can make use of the tools and resources available.
With the collective experience of COVID-19, all of us now need to rethink some of the ways we design and build our products and processes to make sure everyone can access what they need, when they need it.
This event, combining insights from trauma-informed experts, UX/UI design professionals, and experienced systems designers will help build a better, more accessible, and more trauma-informed sector.
