Trauma-Informed Design with Rachael Dietkus

Watch an insightful Ask Me Anything session with Rachael Dietkus, founder of Social Workers Who Design and an active member of the Design Justice Network and the Social Work Futures Lab. We discussed how to design better forms, interactions, and experiences for people with lived experience. This session will delve into the responsibility of asking questions sensitively, understanding the role of the designer, and how to create supportive systems.
Rachael Dietkus is an expert in the field of trauma-informed design and has written and spoken actively about how to meet the needs of the people we serve and how teams can navigate their own biases in the process.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
