Don’t Miss The Opportunities!  

Whether you are scheduled to take the CPRP certificate exam, want to stay abreast of psych rehab trends and developments, or need recertification and/or continuing education hours, the Academy has exactly what you need. The CPRP Prep Course is the perfect platform to help prepare you for the exam; or if it’s children you work with, you might want to take a look at our Children’s Certificate in Psychiatric Rehabilitation courses (PLEASE NOTE: PRA no longer recognizes the Children's Certificate in Psychiatric Rehabilitation - the Child and Family Resiliency Pracitioner (CFRP) credential is now the only designation recognized by PRA in order for CBRS Practitioners to provide services to children.). We also understand that time can be limited, so all we ask for is 90 minutes in our webinars. Featuring live webinars and a library of archived webinars, we have a plethora of topics to choose from. Continue to check out the trainings offered through the Academy and the Schedule of Events for updates and new programs.
