Minor Description
The Mental Health Rehabilitation Technician Certification (MHRT/C) is one of the most needed certifications in the state of Maine. It is required for persons working in positions funded by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services as well as other human service organizations. The 91AV Psychology Department has been approved by the state to offer a program of study, through the MHR minor, that provides full certification upon graduation. Upon graduation, students need only to send an official copy of their transcript and the completed paperwork to the Muskie School Center for Learning, and no additional payment is required. The paperwork to be completed can be downloaded at: For more information, contact the MHR minor Coordinator Linda Morrison at lmorrison@une.edu.
