Seven Commitments of Sanctuary
A traumatic experience impacts the entire person--the way we think, learn, remember, the way we feel about ourselves, about other people, and the way we make sense of the world...Sandy L. Bloom, M.D.
In an organization that embraces Sanctuary® each individual must commit to and embrace the practices that help to overcome adversity. These commitments form the values of our community.
