Do you: Feel numb? Feel too much? Avoid reminders? Have nightmares and/or flashbacks? Have a trauma history? Self-harm or think of suicide? Self-medicate? Lose control? This is the group for you! 

Seeking Safety is an evidence-based treatment group for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Substance Abuse*/Unsafe Behaviors. It is a structured, present-focused group (not a process group-- clients do not need to tell their trauma story), aimed at making the present and future better than the past. This is a 10 week group and group goals are: 

•      Reduce PTSD/trauma symptoms 

•      Develop safe coping skills to replace unsafe behaviors such as substance abuse, other addictive behavior, self harm, aggression, isolation or unhealthy relationships 

•      Learn grounding strategies for detaching from emotional pain 

• Identify safe people, places, activities

*Note: it is not necessary for clients to have substance abuse issues or to meet full criteria for PTSD in order to benefit from the group, however there must be a trauma history and need for safe coping skills
