The Sanctuary Institute is a division of ANDRUS in Yonkers, NY. The Sanctuary Institute provides training and consultation services to organizations that work with vulnerable adults, children and families to help agencies reclaim a culture of hope and innovation. The Sanctuary Institute’s transformational process requires deep commitment, but rewards participants with powerful and measurable organizational change. This transformational process emerged from a collaborative effort between Dr. Sandra Bloom and ANDRUS.
The Sanctuary Model provides for trauma-informed organizational and environment-based care intervention. In other words, Sanctuary organizations provide trauma-informed care in a safe environment for their clients. Every Sanctuary organization makes seven commitments, which focus on different areas of care, understanding and healing.
