Annual renewal is required to maintain an active endorsement with SCIMHA. Renewals are due annually by December 31.

Renewal Requirements:

• An active annual SCIMHA membership (as of December 31 of the renewal year).
• A minimum of 15 clock hours* of continuing education related to endorsement competencies each year. (At least one hour must cover Diversity, Equity and Inclusion competencies.**)
• A minimum of 12 clock hours of ongoing reflective supervision/consultation. (Only for professionals who are endorsed at a category requiring reflective supervision/consultation.)

Documentation of training hours are due by December 31. SCIMHA membership renews in June, although current SCIMHA membership is required to renew Endorsement by December 31.

*Continuing education hours are added to the applicant's training section in EASy. Up to 7 hours spent as an endorsement application advisor or reviewer or an exam reviewer count toward the annual 15 hours requirement.

**Documentation of 15 clock hours of training is not required for the first renewal year immediately following the year endorsement was achieved. For example, if an applicant earned endorsement in 2023, the applicant does not need to provide documentation of 15 clock training hours to renew endorsement that year. However, an active SCIMHA membership is required.

Renewal Fees

$25 if paid by December 31.
$50 ($25 renewal fee + $25 late fee) if paid by January 31.
