Ethical Use of the Digital Products Purchased from Katie Leigh

Katie Leigh Advisory exists to strengthen individuals, families, organizations, and communities through prevention-forward, trauma-informed resources grounded in the Response to Harm Continuum™. These resources are made available across multiple formats and access levels so that the right tools reach the right people at the right cost.

Licensing ensures three things:

  • Ethical use — materials are applied consistently with their intent and the values they represent.
  • Ongoing access — resources remain cost-effective and broadly available by protecting the integrity of the work.
  • Clear boundaries — users, organizations, and professionals understand exactly what they may and may not do with the materials they access or purchase.

This licensing structure applies universally to all Katie Leigh Advisory materials, including handouts, reference cards, assessments, decision guides, gateway eBooks, paid eBooks, workbooks, charts and visual graphics, Kindle editions, audio books, and any future formats or products.

2. Professional License

The Professional License covers use of KLA materials in professional, organizational, educational, ministry, and client-facing contexts — whether or not the setting is revenue-generating. This includes therapists using materials with clients, church leaders facilitating groups, nonprofits running programs, and institutional leaders applying materials in their organizational work.

Scope limit: The Professional License covers use with up to 25 participants per program or session, within a single organizational location. Organizations exceeding this scope — including multi-site organizations, regional networks, and large cohorts — require a Custom License.

This license allows:

  • Displaying and printing visual graphics and charts for use with clients in sessions or presentations
  • Playing audio content in professional or group settings within your program
  • Use by therapists, advocates, consultants, trainers, clergy, educators, and institutional leaders
  • Up to 25 participants per session or program within a single location

This license does not allow:

  • Use across more than one organizational location without a Custom License
  • Programs or sessions exceeding 25 participants without a Custom License
  • Resale of KLA materials as standalone products
  • White-labeling, rebranding, or presenting content as your own work
  • Sublicensing to other organizations, practitioners, or facilitators
  • Distribution of materials beyond your direct program or client relationship
  • Reproducing or adapting framework language or visuals for your own published materials without written authorization
  • Commercial distribution through any platform, marketplace, or channel

VISUAL GRAPHICS & CHARTS:  The Professional License explicitly permits display, printing, and distribution of KLA visual aids, charts, and framework graphics to clients and participants within your professional services. Visual materials may not be altered, rebranded, or distributed outside the direct client or program relationship.

KINDLE & AUDIO FORMATS: Purchasing a Kindle or audio edition for professional use — including group listening in training sessions or playing audio in a professional context — requires a Professional License regardless of the format purchased.

Best for: Therapists, counselors, advocates, consultants, trainers, clergy, church leaders, nonprofit staff, HR professionals, attorneys, institutional leaders, educators, and organizations offering professional services or group programs.
