The Massachusetts Mental Health Counselors Association (MaMHCA), in collaboration with the Massachusetts Continuing Education Approval Program (MCEAP), has established comprehensive Guidelines for Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHCs) regarding appropriate Continuing Education (CE). These guidelines have been formally approved by the Board of Registration of Allied Mental Health and Human Services Professions.

Most CE providers in Massachusetts have their offerings pre-approved by MaMHCA, a designation that is reflected both in their marketing materials and on CE certificates. As the officially recognized entity authorized by the Board of Registration of Allied Mental Health and Human Services Professions, MaMHCA oversees the approval of CE activities for LMHCs throughout the Commonwealth, ensuring high-quality, relevant, and professional continuing education opportunities.
