The 2025 Palix Foundation Symposium brought together 155 experts, decision-makers, and community leaders to accelerate the alignment of science, policy, and practice to build resilience across the lifespan. The event had three core purposes:

• to provide an overview of the Brain Story science and Resilience Scale Framework; 

• to share stories demonstrating the value and impact of applying this science across communities and settings; 

• and to gather input on key questions related to data, impact measurement, and the supports needed to further scale and sustain the work. 

The discussions within the symposium captured system-level insights on collaboration, data alignment, funding structures, workforce sustainability, and the practical application of prevention and early intervention across sectors.
