Sanctuary at Glade Run

Glade Run Lutheran Services is committed to the Sanctuary Model of organizational leadership.  Our staff members are encouraged to participate in discussions that will bring to surface the major strengths, vulnerabilities, conflicts, and resolutions within the organization.

The Sanctuary Model is…

• First and foremost a guide for creating a safe and non-violent environment for the clients in our care AND the staff that cares for them.
• A way of guiding everybody across an organization, from the leaders, to every person who provides direct care, to the children and families to share the same values and language.
• A guide for forming and maintaining a therapeutic community that promotes safety and non-violence as the basis for everything we do to help people heal.

We call our shared values Commitments because everyone in every part of the agency is expected to practice these Commitments in their daily work.

The Commitments are…

• To Non-violence – being safe outside (physically), inside (emotionally), with others (socially) and to do the right thing (morally)
• To Emotional Intelligence – managing our feelings so that we don’t hurt ourselves or others.
• To Social Learning - respecting and sharing the ideas of our teams.
• To Shared Governance – shared decision making
• To Open Communication – saying what we mean and not being mean when we say.
• To Social Responsibility – together we accomplish more; everyone makes a contribution to the organizational culture.
• To Growth and Change – creating hope for our clients and ourselves.
