The Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association and the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Foundation (PRA/F) have partnered with Meaningful Measurement, Inc. (MM) to revitalize the organization and breathe new life into the recovery workforce. Together, PRA/F and MM are kicking off exciting new projects and initiatives that will provide new resources and support to the industry. Meaningful Measurement has overseen test development and psychometric services for PRA's CPRP and CFRP certifications for over a decade. Because of this, they have a deep understanding and appreciation for our field and share our hope and optimism for our organization's future. 

“I am pleased PRA/F is moving toward independent operations with Meaningful Measurement,” said Steve Miccio, Chair of PRA/F Board of Directors. “It is a new era for the organization.”
“We have worked with Donna and her team for years and know they are capable of great things. When it came time for a transition in management, the choice was clear,” said Ron Christensen, PRA Commission Chair. "We can already see great things on the horizon for PRA," he added.

Founded by Donna Surges Tatum, Phd, CAE, CAEd, Meaningful Measurement is an organization dedicated to the principles of scientific inquiry, implementation plans that work, and communication plans that actually communicate. "We are excited to take on this project and bring new energy to PRA/F and to support this industry in bringing recovery and wellness to people who need it," Donna Surges Tatum, Meaningful Measurement.
