Renewal Requirements

Endorsees will complete the renewal by attesting to receiving specialized in-service training and RSC hours attended during the calendar year. These trainings should be specific to IECMH-E® competencies. Although endorsees do not need to renew their Endorsement until the next renewal period, they are still required to maintain membership with RI-AIMH each year their endorsement is active. Failure to renew their endorsement can result in the removal of their name from the Endorsement Registry.

Endorsement Credential Reinstatement

We understand that life happens, and maintaining endorsement is a commitment. If an endorsee chooses to not renew their Endorsement, does not meet the renewal requirements, or misses the renewal window, they will be removed from the Endorsement Registry and no longer be able to use their I/ECMH-E® credential or identify themselves as endorsed. They may reinstate their endorsement at any time to return to the endorsement registry. A minimum of 15 hours of training from the past 12 months and connection to a qualified provider and commitment for receiving 12 hours of RSC per year is required. Please contact our endorsement coordinator for more information.
