Brain & Heart Healing?
Not yet. Brain & Heart Healing is currently in the accreditation process with the Texas Community Justice Assistance Division (CJAD) to offer a Battering Intervention and Prevention Program in Abilene, Texas. Accreditation timelines vary. Until the process is complete, BIPP is not offered at this practice. Family Violence Education (FVE), anger management, individual therapy, and family therapy are available now.
What Is BIPP?
A State-Accredited Program
for Intervening in Family Violence.
The Battering Intervention and Prevention Program (BIPP) is a specific, state-accredited intervention program regulated in Texas by the Community Justice Assistance Division (CJAD), a division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
BIPP programs are structured to a set of statewide standards and are typically ordered when a court, probation department, or CPS caseworker determines that a specific accredited intervention program is required — most often connected to family violence cases.
BIPP is not the same as Family Violence Education (FVE), anger management, or general counseling. When a court order says "BIPP," it means BIPP.
That is why accreditation matters. A completed FVE course does not automatically satisfy a BIPP requirement, and a court, probation officer, or CPS caseworker may require BIPP specifically. Brain & Heart Healing is pursuing CJAD accreditation so this program can be offered locally in Abilene under the correct standards.
Program Comparison
BIPP vs. FVE.
The Practical Differences.
Both programs address family violence concerns. They are not the same, and they are not interchangeable.
If your paperwork specifically requires BIPP, confirm with your court, probation officer, or CPS caseworker which program satisfies the requirement before enrolling in a different service.
