Seeking Safety: An Evidence-based Practice for Trauma and/or Substance Abuse with Dr. Lisa Najavits

The goal of this training is to describe Seeking Safety, an


evidence-based treatment for simple, complex and chronic Post-traumatic


Stress Disorder and/or substance abuse with adults and adolescents. It


is established as an effective model for adults and thus far, it is also


the only model designed for PTSD and substance abuse that has shown


positive outcomes with adolescents. Content will cover (a) background on


trauma and substance abuse (rates, presentation, models and stages of


treatment, clinical challenges); and (b) implementation of Seeking


Safety (overview, evidence base). 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. Content reflects evidence


level A according to the levels from the Association for Healthcare


Research and Quality. A book signing will accompany this event.
