[What is that place called, the one where you go when you've lost it, or having a bad bad bad time? ]
It's located behind the Ranger headquarters, near center camp, kind of hidden and quiet.
Sanctuary is staffed with volunteers who are really skilled at helping people through some bad situations (bad trips, trauma, rape, assault, domestic violence, etc.). We work closely with CIT (Crisis Intervention Team under ESD). There are often doctors, psychiatrists, psych nurses and counselors volunteering in Sanctuary. It's small and can't accommodate the masses.
What Badger said, "We're NOT babysitters." We're not a drunk tank when someone wants to party instead of taking care of their campmate. We encourage everyone to care for their own unless you believe a person may do themselves or someone else harm. Even then, to have a campmate or friend with them is expected and helpful.
hope this helps,
