the boOK SEEKING SAFETY ​

The Seeking Safety book provides client handouts and guidance for facilitators (professionals or peers-- anyone can conduct the model). Per the book publisher, each provider needs a book, and can share the book handouts for personal use (only with their own clients). 

• It is available as an ebook (PDF) or paperbook from our store or as an ebook(PDF) or paperback from amazon*. There is a Canada amazon* ebook (PDF) or paperback as well. If you order the ebook, we will email you the link to it and you would click on that link to download it. If you are ordering for others in your agency, we can send you the full list of links to distribute to your staff in whatever timeframe you choose. 
  There are translations in many languages, including the full Spanish book or the Spanish handouts-only (and we also have other materials in Spanish)

                 *A heads-up that if you order it on amazon.com, they offer only the Kindle version and that does not
​                  allow printing out the handouts.

• ​See the FAQ section of our website, section "Materials", for more information on use of the materials.

Obtaining training or phone consultation can be helpful if needed. Also the books are copyrighted and the publisher makes clear that it is a copyright violation to create any written adapted version. See also the FAQ section of our website regarding materials
