The Children’s Home of Reading (CHOR) was recently awarded Sanctuary certification by the Sanctuary Institute for successful implementation of this innovative trauma-informed approach throughout the organization. CHOR is one of the first in PA to be certified by the Institute. The objective of the Sanctuary Institute is to help organizations, like CHOR, create and implement a trauma-informed, trauma-sensitive culture that promotes healing and recovery.
“The Sanctuary Certification process took three years and truly brought our entire team together with the common goal of improving the quality of services and care provided to the children and families we serve”, Dr. Vince LaSorsa, CEO and President of CHOR.
The certification is a rigorous process that includes interviews, site observations, document reviews and focus groups. Certification is contingent upon the agency’s
ability to adhere to the standards described in the Sanctuary Implementation Standards Manual.
