CE Requirements for
Massachusetts Board of Registration of Allied Mental Health and Human Services Professions
Required once during licensure per 262 CMR 7.03(2); credit counts toward the total for the cycle in which the training is taken.
Licensure cycle runs January 1 of every even-numbered year to December 31 of the following odd-numbered year. First-cycle CEUs prorate by issue date per the Board's CE Information page: January 1 to June 30 of an even year = 22.5; July 1 to December 31 of an even year = 15; January 1 to June 30 of an odd year = 7.5; July 1 to December 31 of an odd year = 0. The Board does not pre-approve individual courses; all CE must be approved by a Board-recognized entity. For LMHC, the Board's CE Information policy names two recognized entities: Massachusetts Mental Health Counselors Association (MAMHCA) and National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC). 262 CMR 2 and 262 CMR 7 do not mandate any specific subject hours beyond the one-time Domestic and Sexual Violence Training. Licensees must acknowledge their obligations to report suspected child abuse or neglect under M.G.L. c. 119 § 51A when renewing per M.G.L. c. 112 § 1A. Retain CE certificates for two consecutive renewal cycles.
CE courses from providers approved by these accreditors count toward your Massachusetts Licensed Mental Health Counselor renewal requirements.
