how to become a trainer
We welcome new trainers! There are a lot of opportunities and our training team is outstanding. Please note that 'trainer' here refers to certified trainers. For other options see the end of this page.
What we offer
1. The opportunity to share your wisdom and have a positive impact.
2. On-site training, webinars, and phone consultation-- you could choose to do some or all of these. Onsite training requires travel but webinars and phone consultation you can do from your location.
3. For onsite training and webinars, you would be paid a speaker fee for each day of training. The current speaker fee for a full day training typically starts at $750 (but varies based on experience) and the typical length of teaching time for a day is 6 hours total. If travel is involved, all travels costs are also covered in addition. Phone consultation is paid on an hourly rate. We can go over the rates when we speak with you by phone.
4. Full support: we will train you on how to do the training; we create the slides and videos, and we handle the logistics. We also pay you within 30 days of your invoice to us.
5. You will get feedback on your trainings.
What we look for
1. People who already have experience conducting Seeking Safety
2. For onsite training: people who are available to travel. We get requests from around the country although, if preferred, you can choose a region such as 'West Coast' or 'Southern U.S.' But there are no required number of days you need to travel. All of our trainers have other jobs. We offer them training opportunities and they can decide to accept them or not.
3. People who care about trauma and addiction.
4. Please note that there are no specific requirements in terms of professional degree, background, or license.
Next steps
Send your resume to Jamie Miller, our training coordinator: coordinator@treatment-innovations.org. She will then get in touch with you to set up a phone time. Please specify, either in your resume or in the email, what your experience is conducting Seeking Safety, and also what type of training you would like to conduct (on-site, webinar, and/or phone consultation), and any other details you'd like to share.
Other options
Instead of becoming a trainer for us, you may be interested in simply introducing Seeking Safety to people within your own agency. That's great! We have materials to help support you in that: See also our Training page.
