[LN- bl was fr page 'getting started' on hiv web-- edit for here- is perfect for this section]
Step 1: Read chapter 1 of the SS book for an overview of the treatment.
Step 2: Read chapter 2 of the SS book for how to conduct SS.
Step 3: Try out one SS treatment topic*
a) Read the topic Safety in the SS book (pages 94 to 109). This is not the first topic in the book, but it is an excellent one to start with.
b) Next, in this training guide read the section titled “Topic 1- Safety,” which provides additional material relevant to HIV/AIDS work.
c) Photocopy handouts you’ll need for your session with a client or group
–Photocopy the client handouts from the SS book, Safety topic (pgs. 100-109).
–Photocopy the End of Session Questionnaire (pg. 60) and the Commitment to Recovery (pg. 59).
d) Now, try out the Safety topic with your client(s).
Step 4: Then, just keep repeating the step #3 above for each additional topic of SS that you conduct. Remember that you can do topics in any order (you do not have to do them in the order they appear in the book), so choose the ones that appeal to you the most and that are most relevant to your clients.
And, strongly suggested to help support your Seeking Safety work…
You can definitely use a harm reduction approach as part of SS. Harm reduction can apply to HIV risk reduction and also to substance use. The SS book explicitly refers to various options for reducing substance use (with abstinence only one possible way). Harm reduction is referred to by the phrase “cut down gradually.” See the topic, When Substances Control You (see in particular pages 138-139, 143-145 and 153-154, and 161); and on page 255, the Harm Reduction Coalition phone number is offered as a resource, Note that the SS book refers to “abstinence” at times, as the original research on SS was funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, which had an abstinence philosophy toward substance use. However, a core value of SS has always been to respect clinicians’ choice to take a harm reduction approach, and to emphasize how that can be helpful to clients.
The SS book focuses on substance abuse, but in this guide, the term is broadened, when possible, to substance use. This is because using substances at any level can be harmful to a client with HIV in that it can worsen physical and emotional health. Thus the goal is to reduce or eliminate substance use, regardless of whether the client has a formal substance-related diagnosis. Also, if you have clients who currently do not use substances at all, you can tell them to ignore the terms “substance use/substance abuse”– they can simply apply the SS coping skills to other problem areas.
The SS materials are copyrighted by Guilford Press, which means that you are welcome to photocopy the client handouts for your clients, but cannot edit/repost/create an electronic version/distribute to others, etc. A future edition of SS may provide the handouts electronically, but for now that does not exist.
This training guide is a supplement, not a stand-alone document. There are many excellent guides to HIV/AIDS information, trauma/PTSD, substance abuse, and related topics (including domestic violence, medical/primary care, culturally competent care, etc). See the next three pages, which offer suggestions for becoming more familiar with trauma, substance use, and HIV/AIDS. Few counselors are equally knowledgeable about all three areas, so please do learn more about any of these that you are less familiar with. Also, some additional helpful resources are listed in the Reference list with an asterisk.
It is sincerely hoped that this guide will make your job easier, and increase help to your clients, who so often are in serious need of high-quality support, guidance, and care.
—————-
*Note: the SS book suggests that you read the entire SS book before conducting the treatment, but that is not necessary. It is more important to “dive in” and try the model, just reading one topic at a time, then trying it out, then reading/trying another, etc

And, strongly suggested to help support your Seeking Safety work…
- Read the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section of the websitewww.seekingsafety.org. It provides important implementation updates that have arisen in the ten years since the book was published.
- Browse around other parts of this site and the Seeking Safety website. For example: click Articles on the top menu bar, and then scroll down to read book chapters that provide brief summary articles on SS).
- Connect with others who are implementing SS. These may be colleagues in your agency or outside. You can even form a group (a “community of practice”) to learn and implement together.
- Consider additional materials. The only thing required to conduct SS is the book itself. The website has additional materials, however, which may be helpful.
- Look at the SS Brief Adherence Scale. Click on the website section, Assessment. The Brief Scale is one page and can be used for helping rate yourself or others on SS. There is also a much longer SS Adherence Scale that was developed for research purposes; that can be useful to read, but is not generally feasible for everyday clinical use.
- Share your feedback to improve this training guide and SS. Your clinical wisdom is valuable. Share your insights and ideas on how to improve SS.

The Seeking Safety HIV Guide [link to item on order page]
A Seeking Safety HIV guide is available. It was written by Lisa Najavits on a project with the New York City Department of Health and Mental Health, Bureau of HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control
The goals of this Seeking Safety HIV Guide are: [EDIT BL- WAS FR HIV 'GOALS' TAB; is in the guide but fine to paste this in]
² To bring Seeking Safety (SS), an evidence-based model for trauma/PTSD and substance abuse, into an area of work (HIV/AIDS) that does not routinely address trauma and PTSD.
² To address the multi-directional relationship between trauma, substance use, and HIV/AIDS, all of which are major risk factors for each other, reciprocally influence each other, and impact outcomes.
² To provide a positive, compassionate approach to help engage clients to reduce unsafe behavior related to trauma, substance use, and HIV/AIDS, focusing on the core theme of safety rather than conveying stigma, blame, or judgment.
² To take a strong public-health approach by using SS. SS is the lowest-cost trauma model available; is able to be implemented by any treatment staff, as well as peers; and is relevant to all traumas, all substances, and all addictions.
² To focus on concrete behavioral actions (e.g., HIV testing, medication adherence, reducing risky behaviors) while simultaneously helping clients understand why they may have problems in these areas related to their history of trauma and substance use.
² To provide material relevant to providers, across all settings, as HIV/AIDS is a risk and reality throughout. This includes those who work in HIV/AIDS programs, primary care, substance abuse treatment, mental health treatment, schools, correctional settings, veteran/military, and all levels of care.
You can watch videos related to the guide as well [ln- make it free?]About this pageThis page offers brief video clips of real people living with HIV (or treating them), who generously offered to share their experiences in the service of helping others.
Our goal is to help “bring alive” their views of of HIV, trauma, addiction. We also suggest ways the material may relate to Seeking Safety. You are welcome to play for clients any clips you choose to, as part of your counseling sessions. However, the clips can only be viewed on this site. They cannot be downloaded, reproduced, distributed electronically, nor posted to any other site.(Thanks for respecting this policy, which is the basis under which the individuals agreed to be taped. If any questions, please email [email protected]).
The clips are organized into several categories. (a) Linkages between HIV, trauma, and/or addiction. (b) The provider role. (c) What people living with HIV want you to know. (d) Seeking Safety topics.
Next to each title is the length of the clip in minutes and seconds (e.g., “2.50″ is 2 minutes, 50 seconds).

Copying / Adapting / Reprinting / Translating from Seeking Safety
We are delighted to know of your interest in Seeking Safety. Please note that the copyright to the Seeking Safety book is held by Guilford Press. Except for "personal use" (which means an individual clinicians' use of the materials with his/her own clients), permission from them is needed for all other uses. Please see details below.
(a) Copying from the Seeking Safety book (e.g., handouts). Guilford Press (who owns the Seeking Safety book copyright) offers the following description of how the book handouts can be copied: "An individual (1 person) can use the handouts without writing for permission. However, a clinic (or agency, program, institution) does not qualify as the 'individual purchaser.' The Limited Photocopy License is quite specific about what can and can not be done. For clinics or multiple users we ask that they write for permission and tell us how many clinicians would use how many books. If it's only 2 or 3 we might approve this at no charge; otherwise we assess a small licensing fee or ask that they purchase additional copies of the book for multiple users. Part of the reasoning is we want clinicians to have all the necessary background information included in the text when using the handouts." For inquiries on this, contact [email protected] or 800-365-7006, extension 245.
(b) Adaptation / Reprinting. If you are interested in adapting Seeking Safety or reprinting parts of it (beyond personal use), please note the following. If you plan to publish, research, or broadly distribute an adapted version of Seeking Safety, or parts of it (e.g., certain handouts), you will need to obtain written permission from Guilford Press in advance. You can contact Guilford Press (800-365-7006, extension 245), or you can go directly to their page (www.guilford.com, click "permissions"). If you would like Lisa Najavits' assistance in adapting it, please contact [email protected].
(c) Translation. There are a variety of options for translation (all of which require advanced written permission from Guilford Press).
(1) One option is to obtain the right to translate all or part of the book, and then to distribute it via this Seeking Safety website. This is, for
example, how the Spanish and French translations were done, which are now available from the section "Order". The benefit is that others will
be able to use the translated version, and that you will receive some payment for it.
(2) A second option is to contact a publisher in your country, who can directly obtain from Guilford Press the right to publish and distribute the
book.
(3) A second option is to obtain the right to translate all or part of the book, just for use in your agency and for a limited period of time, without
the right to distribute it to anyone else.
If any of the above are of interest or you have questions about this, contact [email protected] or 617-299-1620.
