Build the Safety Net Together
No single organization can address the full complexity of recovery, family court, housing, employment, legal needs, and community integration. Together — through intentional, privacy-respecting partnership — we can build the safety net that families in recovery deserve.
Every family that Sanctuary serves began with someone who believed recovery deserves support.
Who We Partner With
Sanctuary works with a wide range of organizations and individuals who serve people in recovery. Click your organization type to learn exactly how partnership works, what it looks like in practice, and how to get started.
The moment a parent enters detox is when their family is most at risk. We provide emergency legal coordination so that patients' family crises are addressed simultaneously with their medical crises.
TreatmentCourt-ordered IOP attendance creates an impossible scheduling collision with family court obligations. We help rationalize impossible service plans and keep parents in treatment — not forced to choose.
TreatmentHearings do not pause for treatment. We bridge the gap between inpatient care and family court, ensuring parents do not lose their children simply because they chose recovery.
HousingStable housing is critical evidence in family court reunification proceedings. We help your residents translate their housing stability into the documented, court-ready evidence judges need to see.
ClinicalYou witness your clients' recovery every session. We help you communicate that clinical reality to a legal system that needs it — with guidance on court-ready documentation and HIPAA-compliant disclosure.
Peer SupportYour lived experience is the bridge no professional credential can replace. If you have navigated the child welfare system in recovery, Sanctuary trains and supports you to walk alongside parents who are where you once were.
LegalParents in recovery face extraordinary legal challenges in family court — and without representation, they lose their families at dramatically higher rates. Your expertise changes the trajectory of families.
CommunityThe cross-referral model is simple and powerful. When you identify a parent facing family court challenges, you refer to Sanctuary. When our clients need your services, we refer to you. Together we close the gaps.
Why Partner
Recovery organizations serve recovery. Sanctuary serves the legal crisis that threatens recovery. Together we address the whole person — not just one dimension.
All partnerships operate with strict consent-based referral protocols. Client information never flows between organizations without explicit written consent.
Parents with legal representation and peer support achieve reunification at dramatically higher rates. Partnership improves your clients' outcomes, not just ours.
We do not give clients a phone number. We make the introduction. Every referral is personal, confirmed, and followed up.
Reach out to our partnership coordinator to schedule an introductory conversation. We will explore how collaboration can serve the families you both work with.
