Seeking Safety is an evidence-based, present-focused counselling group that helps people attain safety from trauma and PTSD. Research has shown that trauma and substance use go hand-in-hand; many people who use substances do so as a coping mechanism to deal with impacts of trauma. Seeking Safety allows us to explore our relationship to substances and integrate new forms of safe coping. Seeking Safety is a first-stage trauma group, and does not require participants to dive deep into detail or re-story previous traumas. Instead, the program focuses on envisioning and enacting safety within the self and our environment.
