MHP EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

MAT Program

The MAT (Medication Administration Training) program helps protect the health and livelihood of Virginia families by certifying child day program and private school employees across Virginia to safely administer medications to children in their care.

Each year, the MAT Program certifies between 8,000 and 9,500 child day program and private school employees across Virginia in skills ranging from administering emergency epinephrine and basic medications to providing complex care for children with diabetes.

Currently, over 27,000 providers hold MAT Program certification, enabling an estimated 100,000 Virginia parents to go to work each day with peace of mind, knowing their child will receive the medications they need.

MHP administers the MAT Program under contract with the Virginia Department of Education.
