Sanctuary's eight commitments

A video series exploring Sanctuary's commitments to nonviolence, emotional intelligence, democracy, social learning, growth and change, social responsibility, open communication and cultural humility.

The Sanctuary model is comprised of four domains, all of which need to be operating simultaneously in order to practice Sanctuary effectively - each one supports and complements the other to influence organisational culture and climate, and inform how services are delivered.

One of these four key domains is the eight commitments: These commitments are agreements we make as a community to prevent trauma exposure if possible, or reduce its impact on individuals and the community as a whole. The eight commitments are: nonviolence, emotional intelligence, democracy, social learning, growth and change, social responsibility, open communication and cultural humility.
