If you have dedicated your career to providing exceptional psychiatric rehabilitation, now is the time to join the distinguished group of more than 2,600 individuals who have obtained the professional Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner (CPRP) credential.
The CPRP credential is a test-based certification that fosters the growth of a qualified, ethical, and culturally-diverse psychiatric rehabilitation workforce through enforcement of a practitioner code of ethics. Our CPRPs come from a range of backgrounds and practices; some hold GEDs while others PhDs, in careers ranging from occupational therapists to peer specialists, and social workers to case workers. But no matter what, our CPRPs share a commitment to the fundamental principle that recovery from serious mental illness is possible.
