The Mental Health Technician (MHT) certification program is designed to prepare students to enter the field of mental health services at the entry-level (minimal education, training and experience).
Students will learn the skills to effectively promote empathy, support and healing through gaining knowledge of mental health diagnosis and care of the whole person. This program is a stepping-stone to other careers in the behavioral health field.
Classes are located on the West Campus of Amarillo College.
