Type of Maltreatment: Not specified
Target Population: This program is not a client-specific intervention, but a full-system approach that targets the entire organization. The focus is to create a trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive environment in which specific trauma-focused interventions can be effectively implemented.
Brief Description:
The Sanctuary Model has been rated by the CEBC in the areas of Higher Level of Placement and Trauma Treatment for Children. The Sanctuary Model represents a 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.
