“…Doing so improves mental health by decreasing trauma symptoms and fostering a positive self-concept by utilizing tools to improve their lives and communities (Rivard et al, 2005). Key to this therapeutic model is developing healthy, meaningful, and connected relationships with caregivers within the interdependent community who teach appropriate regulation of one's emotions (Brock et al, 2006). Core practices (e.g., community meetings, problemsolving processes, safety plans, and self-care plans) are implemented and monitored through fidelity checklists.…”

Exposure to trauma is considered a critical factor in explaining the onset and maintenance of youth aggression. Integrating trauma-responsive practices into the operations of youth-serving systems improves incarcerated youths’ adaptive functioning and ability to succeed when back in society and serves as an opportunity to reduce the likelihood of future aggression. The Sanctuary Model is an approach to organizational culture change based on the structural development of processes that facilitate trauma-responsiveness within a therapeutic community environment. The Colorado Division of Youth Services adopted the Sanctuary Model as part of the primary foundational organizational model of care in 2014. This conceptual article first describes the Sanctuary Model and discusses its implementation using Bowen and Murshid’s (2016) social justice and trauma-informed social policy framework. The article provides an analysis that leads to seven recommendations that will assist organizational leaders in justifying the model at every stage of implementation, including the ongoing sustainability of the practices.

“…CSDT describes three self-capacities, or inner abilities, people require to maintain a state of internal balance and sense of self (Brock, Pearlman, & Varra, 2006;Pearlman, 1998). They are (a) the ability to maintain a sense of inner connection with benign others; (b) the ability to experience, tolerate, and integrate strong affect; and (c) the ability to maintain a sense of self as viable, benign, and positive.…”

Self-injury often derives from traumatic experiences. It differs from suicidal behavior because it is essentially an adaptive strategy, intended to allow the individual to endure and carry on. It therefore does not always call for the interventions described in Part II of this volume. Nonetheless, for those who work with patient emergencies, it is important to be able to distinguish those who injure themselves as an adaptation from those who injure themselves with intent to die; of course, emergency intervention may be required for the physical effects of self-injury. If an adaptation that is more constmctive than self-injury is to develop, however, long-term treatment, rather than emergency or crisis intervention, is typically required.The behavior of self-injury is an adaptive strategy to manage intense physiological arousal and emotional suffering. For many people, self-injury begins as a response to unbearable circumstances in which response choices are restricted. It is adaptive because it allows these overwhelming states and unbearable circumstances to be managed so the individual survives, and therefore has the opportunity to change and grow. There are physiological mechanisms through which self-injury may serve to adapt to trauma, including selfinjury's effect of quieting an oversensitized alarm system in the brain, and 211
