certification in seeking safety supervision
Purpose
This is the highest level that can be completed for Seeking Safety. It is designed for someone who has already completed the Fidelity Rater certification (see section above). The person learns how to provide feedback to supervisees who are implementing Seeking Safety, using fidelity ratings as the basis for feedback. The feedback process is designed to mirror (“parallel process”) Seeking Safety sessions; there is a check-in and check-out, for example. Here too, the certificate allows your staff person to supervise an unlimited number of staff within your agency. But it is not designed to allow your staff person to teach others how to conduct supervision or fidelity, nor to charge anyone.
Method
Cost
See the main certification page for our cost spreadsheet. Please note we have a 24 hour cancelation policy (we bill for any session booked that is not canceled at least 24 hours ahead).
Next step
If you'd like to potentially move forward on this certification, please fill out the Training Request Form on our Training page, and we'll be happy to identify a trainer (filling out the form doesn't obligate you, but is the first step).

Method
- There is a 1-hour introductory call, which is attended by all who are looking to become certified Seeking Safety supervisors. The call helps to create a success experience and to save time by letting everyone know what the process will be and what they can do to prepare.
- The supervisor learns to provide feedback using the Seeking Safety fidelity form, with guided role-plays of the process with our trainer. Once the supervisor achieves two good role-plays demonstrating the supervision process, a certificate is awarded.
- See our supervision format guide and Seeking Safety Supervisor Certification Scale (7/2022 version) for more.
