This guide was developed to help Christian facilitators in their use of Seeking Safety. It was designed to address the intersection between trauma, substance abuse (or other unsafe behaviors) and spirituality. It can be used in faith-based clinical or non-clinical settings (such as churches or para-church organizations) by counselors, pastors, ministry leaders, or community members. It is not a stand-alone guide, but rather a supplement to be used in conjunction with the Seeking Safety model.
This guide is designed to empower Christian facilitators with trauma-informed faith-based tools and is for personal use only. It can not be posted on the internet, copied, or shared in any form, including with other facilitators in your organization. Only the handouts and resources may be copied or printed to share with participants in your faith-based Seeking Safety sessions. It may not be adapted or republished without advance written permission. Contact faithbasedsafety@gmail.com with questions.
