Agenda
The goal of this presentation is to describe Seeking Safety, an evidence-based treatment for trauma and/or substance abuse. We will cover (a) brief background on trauma and substance abuse (rates, presentation, models and stages of treatment, clinical challenges); and (b) implementation of Seeking Safety (overview, evidence base, demonstration and practice of the model). Assessment tools and community resources are also described. By the end of the training, participants can implement Seeking Safety in their setting. Learning methods include powerpoint, video, exercises, and discussion. Methods of instruction include lecture, video segments related to treatment issues, experiential exercises, question/answer discussion with participants.
Objectives:
1) To review research and clinical issues in treating trauma and substance abuse;
2) To increase empathy and understanding of trauma and substance abuse;
3) To describe Seeking Safety, an evidence-based model for trauma and/or substance abuse;
4) To provide assessment and treatment resources.
