The Certified Brain Injury Specialist Training (CBIS) Project, funded through the Interagency Outreach Training Initiative (IOTI) at the Center for Persons with Disabilities is offering several training opportunities in 2010. These trainings will be held throughout Utah in the following areas: Salt Lake City, Provo, Cedar City, Logan, and Clearfield.
All course fees and materials are covered under the IOTI grant, so there is no cost to student. All applicants must register at least 3 weeks prior to the class and is offered on a “first come first serve” basis.
Two types of training will be provided:
1) CBIS training which leads to a national CBIS certification designed for both entry-level staff and experienced professionals working in brain injury services. These trainings are designed for people who are currently working as professionals and direct care staff in statewide agencies and is not restricted to any one profession or discipline.
2) Basic brain injury training, TBI 101, is customized to meet the needs of groups and/or family members serving people with TBI.
To find out when these free trainings are available, you may go to the CPD Calendar of Events page on our website, or contact Carrie Bambrough at carrieb@phoenixservices.org or Nita Smith at nitas@phoenixservices.org.
