Youth Services Department Shares Sanctuary Certification Journey Practice

with Network Members through Community Conversation

On January 25, 2023, Palm Beach County Youth Services Department was the featured presenter for the Andrus Sanctuary Institute community conversation, where seventy-five network members attended to hear Tammy Fields, Director of YSD, discuss the topic "Our Sanctuary Journey: One Size Doesn't Fit All, but Everyone Fits in the Tent." Tammy shared how the department implemented the Sanctuary model of trauma-informed care in the organization's residential, outpatient, education, diversion, and non-clinical areas. YSD highlighted their practice and experience on how they have successfully integrated the Sanctuary Module into their department to the national membership. The event was a great opportunity to practice the commitment to social learning and celebrate YSD's certification with the Sanctuary Community.
