Building What Comes Next

While we are not currently caring for patients, we are using this time to strengthen our programs, enhance our facilities and further develop the curriculum and resources that support the youth and families we are committed to serving.

Important work is happening behind the scenes to create an even stronger environment for healing, growth and safe, high-quality care.

For decades, we have served adolescents and families across Virginia and remain focused on being part of the solution to strengthen behavioral health capacity for young people across the Commonwealth.

The Sanctuary Model

All programs at Hallmark Youthcare use the Sanctuary Model. The Sanctuary Model® represents a theory-based, trauma-informed, trauma-responsive, evidence-supported, whole culture approach that has a clear and structured methodology for creating or changing an organizational culture. The model works to provide a safe, supportive, secure and therapeutic environment to promote healing while building on the strengths of each child.
