I would suggest Brian Farragher - he is co-author of the Sanctuary books with Sandy Bloom! Currently he is executive director of a residential boys center (a Catholic organization that includes an on-site school, social workers, teachers, etc.) and he is partnering with Dr. Robert Macy to work with our local child welfare, children's shelter to move them towards trauma informed practices! It is experiential learning at its best!
Here is a snippet from the Amazon book description:
At its heart, The Sanctuary Model represents an organizational value system that is committed to seven principles, which serve as anchors for decision making at all levels: non-violence, emotional intelligence, social learning, democracy, open communication, social responsibility, and growth and change. The Sanctuary Model is not a clinical intervention; rather, it is a method for creating an organizational culture that can more effectively provide a cohesive context within which healing from psychological and socially derived forms of traumatic experience can be addressed. Chapters are organized around the seven Sanctuary commitments, providing step-by-step, realistic guidance on creating and sustaining fundamental change.
"Restoring Sanctuary" is a roadmap to recovery for our nation's systems of care. It explores the notion that organizations are living systems themselves and as such they manifest various degrees of health and dysfunction, analogous to those of individuals. Becoming a truly trauma-informed system therefore requires a process of reconstitution within helping organizations, top to bottom. A system cannot be truly trauma-informed unless the system can create and sustain a process of understanding itself.
I hope this is useful!
