Should you be pursuing QMHA?
LBCC's associate degrees significantly prepare students for career paths that lead
to becoming a Qualified Mental Health Associate (QMHA.) We encourage students to consult
with their instructors for guidance on how our programs align with the qualifications
needed for QMHA certification.
The QMHA certification, offered by the Mental Health and Addictions Certification Board of Oregon is beneficial for individuals pursuing careers in various mental health and addiction-related
fields. Holding a QMHA certification can enhance opportunities in occupations such
as mental health technician, behavioral health specialist, case manager, community
support specialist, or residential counselor. These roles often involve providing
direct support and assistance to individuals dealing with mental health challenges
or substance use disorders.
