Design That Heals: Janet Roche on Trauma-Informed Spaces and True Inclusion


Listen Later

What if the spaces we live, learn, and heal in could actually heal us back?

In this powerful podcast interview, we sit down with Janet Roche, MDS, CAPS—nationally recognized design practitioner, educator, and founder of the Trauma-Informed Design Society. Janet is a pioneer in Trauma-Informed Design, helping reshape architecture and interior design to be inclusive, empathetic, and deeply human.

We dive into:

  • Her personal journey and the experiences that shaped her vision

  • How design can either harm or heal

  • The myths around “good” design and disability

  • Creating safe spaces for unseen trauma

  • What it really costs to center inclusion

  • The tension between beauty and healing

Whether you’re a designer, educator, social worker, architect—or simply someone who believes in a more just and humane world—this episode will change how you see the spaces around you.
