National Direct Service Training Series (DSTS)
Foundations and Advanced Tracks
REST has provided services to survivors of sex trafficking in Seattle, Washington, for 15 years. We are known for filling gaps in our services to support survivors to progressing from entry to stabilization to independence.
We are excited to share the promising practices we have learned over the years by equipping professionals with the tools and knowledge they need to support survivors of sex trafficking.
The Direct Service Training Series has two tracks: Foundations and Advanced. The two tracks can be taken separately or simultaneously.
Each track comprises eight highly interactive virtual workshops. If you register for both tracks, you gain access to 16 content-rich sessions intended to enhance practical skills, strengthen decision-making, and boost confidence in offering quality care to trafficking survivors.
Join REST staff and anti-trafficking agencies nationwide to gain and share knowledge. We recognize that not all staff can attend all session weeks, but request a commitment to be present for the majority of the training.
In the event you miss a session, you can make up two future sessions with another cohort. Please note that participants are allowed to miss a maximum of two sessions; exceeding this limit will require retaking the series.
For those who successfully complete 80% of each series (6 sessions), a Certificate of Completion will be awarded, recognizing your dedication to advancing your skills in supporting survivors of sex trafficking.
