Seeking Safety

Seeking Safety (SS) is a present-focused treatment for at-risk youth with a history of trauma and substance abuse. Seeking Safety focuses on coping skills and psychoeducation and has five key principles:
  1. Safety as an overarching goal (helping at-risk youth attain safety in their relationships thinking, behavior and emotions)
  2. Integrated treatment (working on both post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD] and substance abuse at the same time)
  3. A focus on ideals to counteract the loss of ideas in both PTSD and substance abuse
  4. Four content areas: cognitive, behavioral, interpersonal, and case management
  5. Attention to clinician processes (helping clinicians work on counterstransference, self-care and other issues)
This program is for adults and older adolescents with a history of trauma and substance abuse to have outcomes of: reductions in substance abuse, improvement in trauma symptoms, and improved psychosocial functioning.
