Online learning for the Seeking Safety book (courses #5 and #6)
This Continuing Education option focuses on the Seeking Safety book. The course consists of two parts, A and B.
Course A: Introduction to Seeking Safety.
Course B: Seeking Safety topics.
You can take both courses, or just one or the other: (There are also four other courses, which relate to the Seeking Safety Training DVDs.) You will receive a certificate for any course you pass and you can also obtain continuing education credits (CEs) if desired. Course A has 6 CEs available, and Course B has 6 CEs available (a total of 12 CEs if you do both courses). These courses provides a set of questions that relate to different parts of the book, along with "Why is this important" and "Practical Tips." The goal is to help provide educational content to engage you in the content of the book.

Chapter 2 is "Conducting the Treatment" and provides implementation guidance on the format of sessions, preparation, adapting the model to different contexts, problem situations, and materials applicable across the treatment. Objectives:
1. To learn how to conduct Seeking Safety
2. To recognize the importance of safety as a key theme when treating people with trauma and substance abuse.
3. To identify the key principles of Seeking Safety.
Course B relates to the 25 Seeking Safety topics in the Seeking Safety book. Exam questions relate to the topics and also clinical scenarios in implementing the model. Objectives:

Practical details
1) Certificates and continuing education credits (CEs). The course can be done either with or without (CEs) and the content is identical. You can earn 12 CEs courses A and B (6 per course). A list of CE types available can be found here. When you pass a course you can print your certificate of completion, If you ordered CEs please send us the certificates and we will issue the CEs within 7-10 business days via email; the non-CE certificate will just state that you completed the course.
2) Timing. Your login information to access the guide will be sent within 5 business days and then you will have one year from that date to access and complete the course(s). After that, you will not be registered and would need to order them again. You will be able to print your certificate for any course you pass. Please print certificates immediately but no more than one month after you complete the course(s) as you will no longer be registered after that. Also we will retain your certificate for one year, but be sure to retain it on your end as well.
