• QMHP Legislative Discussion

  • When

    6:00 PM

  Join OTAC for Qualified Mental Health Provider (QMHP)  Legislative discussion on September 23 at 6pm virtually!

  Are you an occupational therapy practitioner currently working in a mental or behavioral health setting—or would you be interested if the right opportunity arose?

  The idea of Colorado OT practitioners becoming Qualified Mental Health Providers has been discussed for several years. We’d like to reopen the conversation to assess whether there is still consensus to abstain from pursuing this designation, or if there’s renewed interest in advocating for it in the coming years.
