RHS Chemical Dependency and Prevention Counseling Certificate

Benefits of completing Certificate

  • Helps students diversify their skills and makes them more marketable
  • Provides good resume builder
  • Provides good background in the field of substance use disorders regardless of your discipline (i.e., mental health, social work, criminal justice, developmental disabilities, physical rehabilitation, etc.)
  • Provides students with the educational requirements necessary for state certification (https://www.pacertboard.org/certifications)
  • All of the courses required for the certificate are conveniently offered virtually!

Requirements

  • Complete the six required courses (two courses are already required for the RHS major - RHS 301 and RHS 303)
  • RHS Students only need to take the additional 4 courses (only 3 courses if you've taken BBH 143) that can simultaneously serve as electives or supporting courses - it does not involve anything extra!
