If you have dedicated your career to providing exceptional psychiatric rehabilitation, now is the time to enhance your professional status with the CPRP certification. Join a distinguished group of more than 2600 individuals who demonstrate how psychiatric rehabilitation positively changes the lives of individuals with serious mental illness to one of hope, self-determination, empowerment and recovery.  

The Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner credential (CPRP) 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. Currently there are CPRPs with PhDs to GEDs, occupational therapists to peer specialists, social workers to case workers- they all share a commitment to the fundamental principle that recovery from serious mental illness is possible.  

Frontenac Community Mental Health Services (FCMHS) is organizing to have the exam site in the Kingston Area.  WE are reaching out to our community partners to offer them the opportunity to be able to write the exam in order to achieve your certification as a CPRP.  We are planning on hosting the exam in March 2010 and the exact location in Kingston will be announced at a later date.  At FCMHS we have organized a working group in order to promote and support the certification process.  We will be creating a resource library, organizing study groups and guiding the process to become certified.
