Rooted in Safety

a 12-week trauma & substance use healing group, grounded in the Seeking Safety model.

Healing is possible. Safety is possible.

Rooted in Safety is a 12-week online group for adults navigating trauma and substance use.
This is not a space where you need to retell your trauma story. Instead, we focus on:
  • Grounding and coping tools you can use right away
  • Building boundaries and community support
  • Releasing shame and practicing compassion
  • Strengthening your recovery with dignity and hope

Two Circles Available

1. Open Circle
For all adults seeking support with trauma and substance use.
2. Global South Circle
For Afro-descendant, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern, and other communities of the Global South — centering cultural resilience and shared histories of survival.
