A Mindful Web supports web designers through the process of trauma-informed
designing by
providing resources of multiple forms for them to reference while considering an
audience that has experienced some form of sexual or relationship trauma in their lifetime. The scope
here is limited to one type of trauma so as to not overly generalize since trauma varies a lot depending on
the person it affects and the context in which it was experienced.
This is a website designed and built to house a series of videos with explanations and
examples of features, as well
as a list of external resources for further reading or to see other designers' related open-source code. I
hope in the future to expand on what I have started here to include more focused resources helpful to those
who have experienced different types of trauma and hold different intersectional identities because all of
this will affect the way designers should be creating products. This is a project that could not have been
done correctly without the support and input from numerous designers and advocates within this academic
space,
asking all the right questions and putting in the work to advocate for and learn more about how to make the
online world more accessible for all. You can find links to active
working groups, published research, blogs,
and more below.
