The Mental Health Rehabilitation Technician (MHRT) Certification was established in 1992 so that individuals in positions funded by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services who were providing community support to adults with mental illness would have the training they needed to provide quality services.
MHRT/Community is the most widely needed certification in the State of Maine. The certification is required for mental health crisis workers, case managers, community support workers, day treatment workers, independent living specialists, children's case managers, and home-based family services staff.
