Listing checked September 14, 2026 · pay as published by Micro1
Overview
micro1 is looking for mental health professionals to bring their clinical knowledge to a customer project that supports vulnerable youth. You will help train next-generation AI systems by providing real-world input, so the models learn to reason and respond with accuracy and sensitivity. No AI background is needed. What matters is your deep experience with trauma-informed care for young abuse survivors. Your work will directly shape how these systems represent the mental health challenges faced by youth abuse victims.
What You'll Do7
- 1Examine case-based scenarios that capture the complexities of youth abuse victimization and add your clinical perspective.
- 2Evaluate model-generated mental health guidance for abuse cases and give detailed feedback on its accuracy and tone.
- 3Create and organize content that lays out best practices for trauma-informed care with young abuse survivors.
- 4Spot gaps or errors in AI responses from both a clinical and ethical standpoint.
- 5Work with cross-disciplinary teams to make sure deliverables match current standards in mental health care for abuse victims.
- 6Take part in iterative review cycles and share insights that refine training data quality.
- 7Write up recommendations that improve system sensitivity, accuracy, and safety for vulnerable populations.
Requirements8
- 1MD, PhD in psychology, or PhD in social work with completed credentials.
- 2Substantial clinical experience working with youth who have experienced abuse, with a primary or exclusive focus in this area.
- 3Proven expertise in trauma-informed practices and interventions for young survivors.
- 4Active clinical engagement in the field, spending most of your working time supporting abuse victims.
- 5Strong commitment to ethical standards and protecting participant privacy and well-being.
- 6Ability to analyze cases and make sound ethical decisions.
- 7Experience developing content and giving feedback in a collaborative setting.
- 8Comfort with iterative review processes and cross-disciplinary teamwork.
Who Should Apply
This role fits clinicians who have made youth abuse trauma their main clinical focus, hold an MD, PhD in psychology, or PhD in social work, and can show extensive hands-on experience with trauma-informed care. You should be currently active in the field, dedicating most of your working time to supporting abuse victims. The role is less suitable for professionals whose practice only occasionally touches on youth abuse or who lack completed credentials. Candidates often get rejected when they cannot demonstrate a primary focus on this population or when their examples stay general instead of showing specific clinical decisions. Another common reason for low fit scores is not addressing ethical safeguards and privacy practices in their application.
