Join us for next week's HAPPI Hour, Trauma Informed Design for Learning Disabilities Environments

HAPPI Hour logo

You're invited to next week's HAPPI Hour in association with West Waddy Archadia (WWA) architects. 

This webinar will explore projects for a developer specialising in supported housing, where a dedicated psychologist actively contributes to crafting housing solutions that provide psychological benefits beyond standard supported housing specifications.

Building upon the principles of "Trauma-Informed Design" in the field of homelessness in the USA, WWA has undertaken the task of adapting the psychological aspects of this approach into architectural interventions within the supported housing context in the UK. These efforts have contributed to a new guide in relation to people with learning disabilities.
