Enroll Now in MCC’s Children’s Behavioral Health Certificate

There is still time to enroll in Middlesex Community College’s new Children’s Behavioral Health Certificate Program. Registration is now open and spring-semester courses begin Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2019.

Launched fall semester, this 19-credit Human Services certificate program focuses on concepts related to the children's behavioral health (CBH) workforce.

“This is a great opportunity for people looking to work with children and families,” explained Paulo Barrio, Chairman of the Human Services Department.

“Massachusetts has developed several positions falling under the ‘children’s behavioral health’ umbrella, but there aren’t many formal educational opportunities available,” he added. “Agencies are looking to become involved with these required services and are looking for well-informed and well-trained employees.”

MCC’s CHB Certificate is designed to help reduce mental-health disparities, and increase the quality of care in racial, ethnic and underserved communities, said Barrio. The program covers skills required for working in community health, clinical writing, and working with youth and families. It also includes supervised experience in the field.
