Safe Space Design & Development

We are in the midst of an unprecedented social, health, and economic volatility. These collective traumas have not only endangered our physical health, but they have also posed a serious threat to our mental health. In these turbulent times, people are experiencing a range of emotions, from feelings of fear and loneliness to anger and helplessness. Concerns about our health and safety, as well as our friends’ and colleagues’ well-being, can be a great mental strain that can have serious implications for our mental health.

​

As designers and strategists, it’s our responsibility to transform existing spaces and experiences to create inclusive, equitable places that instill emotional safety in occupants. By creating environments that deliver a feeling of emotional safety, we can better promote people’s mental health and well-being when they are out in the community.
