Spring 2012 New Jersey Mental Health Screener Recertification Series: UBHC continues to provide the NJ Mental Health Screener Recertification Series with a focus on offering new and updated courses. This spring, almost all of our courses are entirely new. These include courses entitled “Lifetime Losses & Grief Reactions,” “Pathological Gambling and Screening,” “Special considerations for working with children & adolescents in crisis,” “Pathological Gambling and Screening,” “Co-occurring disorders and Screening,” and “Children and Trauma.” One course “Dementia and Screening” is being offered again due to the popularity expressed in the attendee evaluations.

Certified mental health screeners may also obtain recertification credits by participating in a Mobile Outreach Practicum which includes opportunities for outreach and collaboration with a variety of New Jersey's community service programs.
