Abstract
Originally developed in a short-term, acute inpatient psychiatric setting for adults who were traumatized as children, the Sanctuary Model is an evidence-supported template for system change based on the active creation and maintenance of a nonviolent, democratic therapeutic community in which staff and clients are empowered as key decision-makers to build a socially responsive, emotionally intelligent community that fosters growth and change (Bloom, 1997; Rivard, 2004; Rivard et al., 2003; Rivard et al., 2004; Rivard et al., 2005). Culture of Nonviolence-building and modeling safety skills and a commitment to higher goals Culture of Emotional Intelligence- teaching and modeling emotional management skills and the integration of thoughts and feelings Culture of Social Learning- building and modeling cognitive skills in an environment that promotes conflict resolution and transformation Culture of Shared Governance- creating and modeling civic skills of self-control, self-discipline, and administration of healthy authority Culture of Open Communication- overcoming barriers to healthy communication, reducing acting-out, enhancing self-protective and self-correcting skills, teaching healthy boundaries Culture of Social Responsibility- rebuilding social connection skills, establishing healthy attachment relationships Culture of Growth and Change- working through loss and restoring hope, meaning, and purpose Organizations committed to working with troubled individuals all face enormous stresses.
