Seeking Safety
Seeking Safety is an evidence-based, present-focused counseling model to help people attain safety from trauma and/or substance abuse. It can be conducted in group (any size) and/or individual modality. It is an extremely safe model as it directly addresses both trauma and addiction, but without requiring clients to delve into the trauma narrative (the detailed account of disturbing trauma memories), thus making it relevant to a very broad range of clients and easy to implement.

The Invitation to Change Approach (ITC)
The Invitation to Change (ITC) is an integrative support framework grounded in scientific principles and compassion, tailored for families and loved ones of individuals dealing with substance use issues. This group encourages you to consider the essence of helping, rethink the part that loved ones can play in facilitating change, and discover evidence-based methods for providing support. The ideas and techniques within the ITC are derived from three proven approaches—Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Next Session: Fall 2024.
