Thesis Paper:
Action Project:Description: For my action project I decided that I wanted to try and bring more awareness on my topic of Trauma-Informed Design, since that is one of the major barriers to the design style right now. Knowing this was my goal I chose to create a slideshow presentation that would essentially act as a crash course on Trauma-Informed Design. The audiences that I presented to via zoom were the Colorado State Library and the Early Childhood Council of La Plata County. Since both organizations handle many people and children who may be experiencing effects from trauma I thought that they would get the most out of my presentation.
