What does a trauma-informed digital experience look like? Or, better said, what does it feel like? Why is trauma-informed design particularly important for today’s digital experiences?
We hear answers to these questions and more this week from Melissa Eggleston and Carol F Scott, PhD - the women behind Trauma-informedTech.com. Melissa is an expert in user-experience design and research with a focus on inclusive, trauma-informed technology and design. Carol is a social worker and social welfare expert whose training intersects law, social work, psychology, human-computer interaction (HCI), and health informatics.
Melissa and Carol discuss what trauma is - and how broad our understanding of trauma has needed to become. We hear why it’s important - particularly today, and particularly with children in mind - to design digital experiences that are trauma-informed.
Most importantly, we learn about how to approach and the steps to take in order to design a trauma-informed digital experience.

Recommendation: First, start with the basics of digital design: Usability Principles, Plain Language Principles because if the experience is not easy to use and accessible, it cannot be trauma informed. Next, you must be thinking about mobile - some people are only accessing online resources via mobile, so consider starting your designs for mobile use.
The Six Principles of Trauma-informed Digital Design:
- Safety (physical & emotional),
- Trust and Transparency,
- Collaboration & Mutuality,
- Peer Support,
- Empowerment voice & choice,
- Cultural, historical and gender issues (aka, Intersectionality)
