Equivalent curricula are not approved, but what about the Mental Health Support Specialist (MHHS)?
The MHSS curricula are the exception to the rule. Any individual completing training in the DSP or the MHSS Curricula on or after October 1, 2006 will receive credit for the following modules on a reciprocal basis: Documentation (Module 8 of the DSP); Confidentiality (Module 3 of the DSP); and Sexuality (Module 11 of the DSP). This reciprocity applies equally to individuals who have completed the APL, the DSP curriculum, or a combination of the two. Validation of completion of the APL testing, the DSP Curriculum, or the MHSS Curriculum will require the student requesting credit to provide either a copy or an original of the certificate received upon completion of their training. For individuals seeking credit form their MHSS completion to be applied to the DSP certification, BHSI requires the individual to complete the MHSS Equivalency form and submit it to BHSI along with a copy of their MHSS certificate.
