Mental Health Certifications


Mental Health Certification Program

Prepare to provide care for the unique needs of people with mental illness, dementia, and/or developmental disabilities under the direct supervision of the mental health professional in the  Mental Health Certification Program. This program is provided entirely online and instructor-led for your convenience. You may receive an additional certification in Adult Mental Health First Aid.

The American Association of Psychiatric Technician has generously donated $400 per student in scholarship funds. Complete the scholarship application prior to registration. Funds are limited, first-come, first-served.

"I loved the fully online format. I loved the access to information easily and how it was presented. I loved the down to earth personality of the instructor. I loved how accessible he was. It was a very good course." Crystal Sacco

Mental Health First Aid 

Just as CPR helps you assist an individual having a heart attack — even if you have no clinical training — Mental Health First Aid helps you assist someone experiencing a mental health-related crisis. In the Mental Health First Aid course, you learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction concerns, strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations, and where to turn for help.
