Mental Health Licensure and Certification Section

Training Opportunities

Currently, Mental Health Licensure is not offering face-to-face basic licensure training.  To help mitigate the spread of COVID-19.  Our primary concern is for the safety of our employees, their families, and all North Carolina Residents.  Please utilize our D.H.S.R. Provider training website for the PDFs that we use for orientation.
