Scenario

When community safety planning must account for trauma

Our neighborhood association is trying to address safety issues but some of us are assault survivors who experience safety very differently than others, and the solutions that make some people feel safer actually trigger others of us. We're stuck because acknowledging our trauma feels too personal but ignoring it means the solutions won't work for everyone.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is discovering that effective collective action requires acknowledging invisible differences in how people experience threat and security.
