Understanding Sanctuary: Helping Public Health Professionals Serve Populations in Need

When: December 5, 2012 from 9AM – 1PM

Where: 245 N. 15th Street, Philadelphia

What: What is the Sanctuary Model? The Sanctuary Model® represents a theory-based, trauma-informed, evidence-supported, whole culture approach that has a clear and structured methodology for creating or changing an organizational culture.  This course provides a description of trauma and its impact on individuals seeking public health, behavioral health, and other health and human services. By the end of the workshop, you will understand how individuals who have experienced trauma remain affected, how they present in public health settings, and ways to change the delivery of public health programs and services to better meet the needs of this population.

Learning Objectives
  • Discuss research that examined the health and social effects of adverse childhood experiences over a lifespan;
  • Define the comprehensive impact of trauma on individuals when traumatized;
  • Outline the developmental, cognitive, emotional and behavioral results of trauma that remain with individuals throughout their lives if trauma is not addressed;
  • Identify two ways to change the delivery of public health programs to better serve traumatized individuals.
