The Mind Over Matters initiative evolved as a response to the increased need for mental health education in schools. Our team is pleased to offer The Brain Story Professional Development for teaching staff from kindergarten to grade 12. Brain Story explains how lifelong health is determined by more than just our genes. Adverse Childhood experiences, also known as ACES, at sensitive periods of development change the brain in ways that increase or decrease the risk for later physical and mental illness, including addiction. 

The second part of this presentation consists of the Brain Architecture Game. This game is great for team building as you work in groups of 4-6 and get to see firsthand how we all begin life from a very different set point as determined by our genetic lottery.
