The Sanctuary Model of Care® is a nationally recognized framework for providing care with a trauma-informed and trauma-responsive perspective. Acknowledging that adversity is universal to all of us, and these experiences often shape how people behave, we also understand that individuals are resilient and healing is possible.

Appreciating the effects of these past experiences, we change the question of “What’s wrong with you?” to a focus on “What’s happened to you?” Based on the knowledge that overcoming trauma, stress, and adversity requires creating an environment that promotes safety and healing, Sanctuary® utilizes interactive tools to change the way we go about working together, thinking together, acting together, and living together.
