In the 7-12 hour training, non-licensed direct care staff will learn how to address the unique challenges associated with brain injury.

 

CNS consistently achieves an impressive industry benchmark; it has been designated as a Platinum level ACBIS Alliance Member by the Academy of Certified Brain Injury Specialists (ACBIS) since the earliest possible year (2015). To qualify as an Alliance member, CNS has had exceeded the minimum requirement of 20 percent of its eligible staff being certified as Certified Brain Injury Specialists (CBIS) or Certified Brain Injury Specialist Trainers (CBIST) at the total organization level. To earn this Platinum level of recognition, a company must achieve membership three years in a row.

 

The national ACBIS Alliance Membership program was launched in 2012 to recognize facilities that have a high level of CBIS-eligible professionals.  Thus, by reaching the Platinum Alliance Membership level in 2015, CNS was among the first companies in the United States to achieve this distinguished status.

This mentorship model helps staff achieve new career paths within CNS. SCOPE also offers training to help employees keep abreast of current methodologies and practices.
