This is also why all places benefit from practicing trauma-informed ways of
crafting spaces, even if (and I would say especially if) they’re not
therapy spaces or counseling or spaces for processing trauma. We can never
guarantee that our spaces will be “safe,” and there’s no way to avoid all
harm in a space no matter how many courses we’ve taken. But we can ensure
that we are doing everything we can to minimize the chances for harm to
occur, and maximize the quality of support we can offer when harm does
happen.
