Become Certified in Athlete Clinical Mental health (ACMH)

The CCSSWI Immersion Program is strictly a clinical program! Our students are working towards a AMHC designation – which will become a nationally recognized designation in the sports world.

The ACMH designation will foster great trust and hopefully lead to greater employment possibilities in the sports industry.

This program is for social workers, psychologists, counselors, etc. who want to enhance their clinical skills in a sports context.

Upon passing the ACMH exam, social workers will be able to use the designation ACMH.
