The Humphrey House is committed to using the Sanctuary Model of Trauma Informed Care as a guide for creating a safe and non-violent environment where healing can occur. According to trauma informed care, it is the responsibility of caretakers to change their perspective on traumatized children and adults and to view them as hurt, rather than ill. Instead of asking, “What is wrong with” we ask, “what happened to you?” This fundamental change in perspective is the foundation of trauma informed care.
