Sanctuary Institute

The Sanctuary Institute is an organization dedicated to improving the way institutions respond to individuals affected by trauma, such as abuse or violence. It offers training, consultation, and research to help organizations create trauma-informed environments that emphasize safety, empowerment, and healing. Founded by Dr. Daniel Siegel, it aims to enhance understanding of trauma’s effects and promote practices that support recovery and resilience. The Institute collaborates with professionals across various fields—including healthcare, education, and social services—to ensure responses are compassionate, effective, and rooted in scientific understanding of trauma.
