About the Program

MHRT/C is a standardized training and certification process that prepares students to meet the minimal requirements for employment in the field of adult community mental health and rehabilitation in the State of Maine. The standardized course work is known as the Mental Health and Rehabilitation Technician/Community Certification (MHRT/C).

Any student who is interested in a career in mental health services, including being a counselor, therapist, case manager, clinical psychologist, or associated forms of nursing and medical care can benefit from the content of the MHRT courses. 

MHRT/C certification can also make you more competitive for adult community mental health service jobs in Maine. Possessing the MHRT/C certification allows the organization that employs you to be reimbursed by MaineCare for the following services that you provide for adults:

• Community support
• Case management
• Intensive case management
• Assertive community treatment
• Day treatment/rehabilitation

Other adult mental health services include emergency, outpatient, crisis intervention, and crisis support services.
