Places of Sanctuary and Trauma Informed Placemaking

Healthy Happy Places Webinars

The webinars will be exploring a range of topics that will showcase perspectives from mental health, architecture, and urban planning to explore why the built and designed environment matters when thinking about mental health, wellbeing,& neurodiversity.

Join the Healthy Happy Places team and guest speakers for our next webinar looking at how we can collaboratively create our spaces through a trauma informed lens. Places can be hostile and unwelcoming, negatively impacting our wellbeing and mental health, but we can work to promote healing and recovery. Through inputting unique designs and ideas which reinforce feelings of safety, rather than isolation and danger, learn how we can co-create inclusive and calming spaces for everyone. “Trauma-informed practice is an approach to health and care interventions which is grounded in the understanding that trauma exposure can impact an individual’s neurological, biological, psychological and social development.” (Working definition of trauma-informed practice, Office for Health Improvement and Health Disparities, 2022)W﻿e will be joined by•	Dr Angela Kennedy, Head of Specialist Psychological Therapies and Expert in <a href="https://ahsn-nenc.org.uk/what-we-do/improving-population-health/mental-health/trauma-informed-care/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Trauma Informed Care</a>, NHS-E Lead for <a href="https://ahsn-nenc.org.uk/blog/developing-a-trauma-informed-community-of-action/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Trauma Informed Community of Action</a>.

She is currently undertaking a PhD, learning how to be a researcher, and taking a deep dive into ‘trauma-informed’ artist practice and based in Exeter.Trauma-informed Community Arts Practice: Community artists often work outside the studio and in settings with individuals and/or communities who maybe affected by trauma. Different to art therapists who are trained in the psychotherapeutic discipline, community art aims to be an empowering and inclusive practice driven by the art making, rather than a psychotherapeutic lens. In this talk I will discuss the research I have been doing; interviewing artists about their community practices and running collage-art projects with service users at Devon Rape Crisis and Sexual Abuse Services. •	<a href="https://www.caracourage.net/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dr Cara Courage</a>author of Creative Placemaking: Research, Theory and Practice (2019) and leading the <a href="https://www.traumainformed.place/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Trauma Informed Placemaking project</a>, based in Brighton/ Dublin.
