Trauma-Informed Care: Building Safety, Trust, and Healing Through Sanctuary

Published Wednesday, January 28, 2026

Welcome to ZC Clinical Connections! Connecting you to clinical topics.

In this episode, we're talking about something that impacts every part of our work: the Sanctuary Model of trauma-informed care.

Trauma affects more people than we realize and can often show up as a variety of physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. It impacts how we communicate, how we respond to stress, and how safe we feel asking for help. At Zepf Center, Sanctuary isn’t just something we do; it’s how we create environments where people feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal.

Joined by our Director of Training and Workforce Development, Tennille Darrow, we break down what Sanctuary really is, how we’re actively practicing it across our organization, and what our upcoming re-certification means for staff, clients, and the community we serve. We’ll also talk about why trauma-informed care matters, not just for recovery, but for building healthier teams and stronger connections.
