Designing Trauma Informed Ethical Justice Tech
Event Details
Research shows that reactions to stress, scarcity, and trauma can alter cognitive processes such as memory, attention, planning, and decision making. This impacts how easily people can find information and complete tasks online
Sarah Mauet and Cayley Balser of Innovation for Justice will explore why it is critical to consider the impacts of trauma when designing public-facing legal tech tools. This webinar will explain the practical trauma informed continuum to help participants understand where they and their organizations currently operate and how to progress towards a trauma responsive approach to legal services.
trauma awareness > trauma sensitive > trauma informed > trauma responsiveness
This session will
- introduce the ethical tech framework that Innovation for Justice uses to design trauma informed tech tools that are accessible, usable, and useful for real people
