online certificate or masters psychiatric rehabilitation

Hi, does anyone know of online graduate certificate in psychiatric rehabilitation or a masters in the same thing? I am looking to become a Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner (CPRP). The program has to include an internship under a CPRP. I looked at Rutgers online program but it requires travel to an annual conference which i can't travel that far.

 

Ask, and you shall receive. :smile:

Masters Rehabilitation Counseling - University of South Carolina School of Medicine

 

i contacted them unfortunately their program doesn't include the 400 hour supervised internship for the CPRP

 

i think it's usually called "rehabilitation counseling" isn't it?

no just psychiatric rehabilitation Welcome to PRA - Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association | PRA - Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association

 

As far as I can tell, certification by this organization does not require a degree in Psychiatric Rehabilitation specifically.
From the website:

"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 caseworkers and so many more, all of whom share a commitment to the fundamental principle that recovery from serious mental illness is possible"

You can read through this search string for more leads. You'll note that the term "distance learning" is not present so there will be some dead ends.
