The Sanctuary® Model is a blueprint for clinical and organizational change which, at its core, promotes safety and recovery  from adversity through the active creation of a trauma-informed community. A recognition that trauma is pervasive in the experience of  human beings forms the basis for the Sanctuary Model’s focus not only on the people who seek treatment, but equally on the people and systems who provide that treatment.

The Sanctuary Model originated in the Philadelphia area in the early 1980s, created by a team of clinicians working in a small inpatient adult hospital unit. This team, led by Dr. Sandra Bloom, combined their clinical knowledge with their own experiences to create a trauma-informed program they called Sanctuary.

Providing many evidence based programs and service delivery frameworker, including:
The Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI) training program for child and  youth care staff presents a crisis prevention and intervention model  designed to teach staff how to help children learn constructive ways to  handle crisis. 
The ability of the entire organization to respond  effectively to children and young people in crisis situations is  critical in establishing not only a safe environment, but also one that  promotes growth and development. The skills, knowledge, and professional  judgment of staff in responding to crises are critical factors in  helping young people learn constructive and adaptive ways to deal with  frustration, failure, anger, rejection, hurt, and depression.
