Why We Initially Choose Seeking Safety
Client need Demonstrated efficacy Treatment for a wide range of
clientele Treatment is relatively brief Focus on strengths and building
positive coping skills rather than on reprocessing the trauma
Appeared to be user friendly Flexibility possible

First Steps
Site – Casa de Vida - residential Staff – psychology interns Train – books, website Clients – mixed gender groups Assessments – LASC, client
satisfaction, qualitative
![Page 8: Implementing Seeking Safety Presented at the NIDA CTN Pre-Steering Committee Dissemination Workshop, Bethesda, MD, October, 2009 Supported by the California-Arizona.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649dc75503460f94abb731/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Next Steps Tried adaptations:
– Open enrollment
– Clients choose topics
– Vary order of topics
– Extend/repeat some topics Supervision Looked at data Talked with Dr. Najavits

Observations from Facilitators
Many clients seem to feel relaxed in the emotionally “managed” atmosphere
Most clients leave group in a positive, upbeat mood
Clients refer to the tools they are learning when outside of group
![Page 18: Implementing Seeking Safety Presented at the NIDA CTN Pre-Steering Committee Dissemination Workshop, Bethesda, MD, October, 2009 Supported by the California-Arizona.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649dc75503460f94abb731/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What Clients Have Said:
Noted improvements in overall self-esteem
Greater confidence coping with PTSD and SA triggers
Said they felt “safe” in group Topics and handouts were very
useful
![Page 19: Implementing Seeking Safety Presented at the NIDA CTN Pre-Steering Committee Dissemination Workshop, Bethesda, MD, October, 2009 Supported by the California-Arizona.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649dc75503460f94abb731/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Client quotes include:
“This is my favorite group” “I have learned a lot of tools” “I have used a lot of the tools outside
of group” “I would like to go through the series
again as a refresher”
![Page 20: Implementing Seeking Safety Presented at the NIDA CTN Pre-Steering Committee Dissemination Workshop, Bethesda, MD, October, 2009 Supported by the California-Arizona.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649dc75503460f94abb731/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Our Data Suggest
The method can be successfully used with mixed gender groups
Adaptations are feasible (and may increase client engagement)
Clients and facilitators like it Closer supervision may be needed,
esp. re gender considerations

Further Dissemination
Presentations – LFC staff, regional meetings
Interns - Post-docs take to other sites Other LFC staff start using it
