The Brain Story is a series of evidence-based metaphors that serve as a universal public health message on brain development. Best For You and the Palix Foundation’s Alberta Family Wellness Initiative are collaborating to facilitate the building of a community-wide common language and knowledge base founded in the science of the Brain Story. This event will include:
-
An update from Best For You on the partner network.
-
An interactive session led by the Oxford Brain Story (Profs Louise Dalton & Elizabeth Rapa) that provides an introduction to the core Brain Story metaphors and their underlying science.
-
A Resilience Scale Masterclass hosted by the Chair & Patron of the Palix Foundation. Participants will learn about how the Resilience Scale metaphor can be used as a practical tool to assess and monitor resilience in individuals.
-
A workshop to facilitate the creation of a community mapping rooted in the Resilience Scale. This mapping will be shared back to partners after the event.
-
Additional engaging workshops and activities.
-
Networking time with other Best For You partners.
