New briefs show impact of intentionally embedding brain science
Briefs feature lessons learned, site-specific examples
Through the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities' two-year Change in Mind initiative, a cohort of 10 U.S. and five Canadian organizations have demonstrated the impact of intentionally infusing brain science and evidence into programs and organizations.
