What BrainWaves does
Better adolescent mental health.
BrainWaves brings research and education together to improve the mental health and wellbeing of young people. We combine a large, national research cohort with evidence-based resources for schools, creating a shared foundation for discovery, learning, and real-world impact.
By connecting scientists, educators, and young people, BrainWaves is building the evidence needed to better understand the adolescent brain and to translate that knowledge into meaningful support for schools and students.
