Mental Health Technician Jobs in New Hampshire

A Mental Health Technician, also known as a Psychiatric Technician, plays a crucial role in supporting mental health professionals in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients with mental illnesses, emotional disturbances, or developmental disabilities. They perform tasks such as monitoring patients' physical and emotional well-being, leading therapeutic and recreational activities, helping with personal hygiene, administering medication, and documenting patient behavior. They also assist in crisis situations, intervening when necessary under the guidance of a clinician.

Important skills for a Mental Health Technician include excellent communication, empathy, patience, and the ability to maintain composure in high-stress situations. They should also have strong observational skills to accurately monitor and report on patient behavior. Relevant certifications typically include CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS), along with a certification in psychiatric or mental health technology, such as the Certified Psychiatric Technician (CPT) or the Certified Mental Health Technician (CMHT). Prior experience in roles such as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Home Health Aide, or Social Service Aide can serve as a valuable foundation for becoming a Mental Health Technician.
