For the last thirty years, the nation's mental health and social service systems        have been under relentless assault, with dramatically rising costs and the        fragmentation of service delivery rendering them incapable of ensuring the safety,        security, and recovery of their clients. The resulting organizational trauma both        mirrors and magnifies the trauma-related problems their clients seek relief from.          Just as the lives of people exposed to chronic trauma and abuse become organized        around the traumatic experience, so too have our social service systems become        organized around the recurrent stress of trying to do more under greater pressure:        they become crisis-oriented, authoritarian, disempowered, and demoralized, often        living in the present moment, haunted by the past, and unable to plan for the        future.Complex interactions among traumatized clients, stressed staff, pressured        organizations, and a social and economic climate that is often hostile to recovery        efforts recreate the very experiences that have proven so toxic to clients in the        first place. Healing is possible for these clients if they enter helping, protective        environments, yet toxic stress has destroyed the sanctuary that our systems are        designed to provide.This thoughtful, impassioned critique of business as usual        begins to outline a vision for transforming our mental health and social service        systems. Linking trauma theory to organizational function, Destroying Sanctuary        provides a framework for creating truly trauma-informed services. The organizational        change method that has become known as the Sanctuary Model lays the groundwork for        establishing safe havens for individual and organizational recovery. The goals are        practical: improve clinical outcomes, increase staff satisfaction and health,        increase leadership competence, and develop a technology for creating and sustaining        healthier systems. Only in this way can our mental health and social service systems        become empowered to make a more effective contribution to the overall health of the        nation.Destroying Sanctuary is a stirring call for reform and recovery, required        reading for anyone concerned with removing the formidable barriers to mental health        and social services, from clinicians and administrators to consumer        advocates.
