The Sanctuary Model represents an evidence supported, trauma-informed method for creating or changing an organizational culture in order to more effectively provide a cohesive context within which healing from psychological and social traumatic experience can be addressed. It is a whole system approach designed to facilitate the development of structures, processes and behaviors on the part of staff, children, and the community-as-a-whole that can counteract the biological, affective, cognitive, social and existential wounds suffered by the children in care.
Sanctuary Model's Seven Commitments
