Content pulse for Janet Roche
Last updated: September 26, 2026
How to use this: scan for what's actually new today across Janet's nine buckets. This is the raw material — no post ideas here, just what's happening and why it's worth knowing. If something's worth turning into content, it'll show up in the idea bank below.
Trauma-informed practice
A shelter-focused guide on how a space sends signals before anyone speaks, framed around cutting daily strain for staff and residents.
A nine-month study co-designing a mental health recovery app, written to fill the gap in practical guidance for trauma-informed co-design.
Design and space
The first major Bawa retrospective in two decades opens today, September 26, in Weil am Rhein. Sensory architecture front and center.
A review of nature-integrated strategies in hospitals and what they do for patients. Useful evidence for healthcare clients.
Justice and systems change
Officials reviewed natural light, day rooms that double as service space, and a new mental health court. Nothing final yet.
The Academy of Architecture for Justice meets in Minneapolis, October 7–9. Under two weeks out.
Professional development
The current cohort (Aug 1 – Nov 20, 2026) is running now, open worldwide, earning HSW learning units through AIA.

Community and belonging
Argues belonging can be designed through repeated, structured contact in shared space.
Third spaces are being rebuilt on purpose, driven by demand for affordable, in-person connection.
Janet's voice
A long-form interview with Janet on spaces that help people heal. Publish date not confirmed, so check before calling it new.
Janet's path from social work into design school in her forties, and her current work at the intersection of both.
Events and appearances
Janet's online lecture (March 28, 2026) on extending responsibility for place past sustainability metrics to emotional safety.
"Trauma-informed Design: A Framework," co-authored by Janet, remains available on the TiD Society shop.
Resources and tools
The EDRA CORE Award-winning tool Janet's team built to help schools score their physical space and find low-stress design changes.
Podcast
Season 7, Episode 1 (Jan 19, 2026) — with Dr. J. Davis Harte, Doreen Balabanoff, and Alison Mulvale Fletcher. Still the latest release.
A guest studio's own write-up of their appearance on the show, ready to reshare.
How to use this: check which hashtags and conversations are live right now before you post, so captions ride the current wave instead of guessing. Not every topic will have a verified post to link to — that's noted honestly rather than faked.
Trauma-informed design and healing spaces
No verified post surfaced through search today. The conversation this week is running through shelter and jail design news rather than a single post with a working link.
Biophilic and wellness design
The organizer's post for Thursday's online summit. The multisensory theme is still circulating in recaps.
Justice, accessibility and design equity
Recordings and recaps are still tagged #id24. The trauma and emotional safety session is the closest fit for Janet.
The organizers' own post. Easy to boost or quote.
How to use this: the working list. Every post idea pulled from the news and trends above lands here with its date and bucket, and it accumulates for 30 days. Bring this to the monthly planning meeting, pick what's still relevant, check off what's been used, and assign the rest to dates on the actual content calendar.
