What is the CBIS Certification?

May 10, 2020

The Brain Injury Association of America’s Academy of Certified Brain Injury Specialists (ACBIS) is the largest national program providing education, training, certification, and ongoing resources for multi-disciplinary specialists in the brain injury community.

ACBIS offers the opportunity for professionals working in brain injury services to earn a nationally recognized credential: Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS).  At New Vitae Wellness & Recovery, acquiring the Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS) credential is an important step in ensuring that our CARF-accredited Brain Injury Program remains a valuable and well-informed treatment provider in the field of brain injury services. We recognize the importance of access to the latest brain injury research, treatment, and practice information. 

New Vitae Wellness & Recovery is proud to join the 7,000 professionals with CBIS certification nationwide who are improving the lives of individuals with brain injury every day.  At the present time, New Vitae Wellness & Recovery has 6 Certified Brain Injury Specialists (CBIS) and 1 Certified Brain Injury Specialist Trainer (CBIST) on staff.  There are also 5 additional employees who have completed the training, provided by New Vitae’s Certified Brain Injury Specialist Trainer, who plan to sit for the examination within the next few months.

We are committed to providing the highest standards of care for our consumers while utilizing the latest brain injury research and evidence-based practice in our work with survivors of brain injury.
