Details of Major Brain Awareness Week Events/Activities:
I disseminated information via our newsletter for our partnering teachers the BAW information from your website. I tied it into our federal grant evidence based curriculum lessons. For example, The official week for the next BAW is March 11th-17th, 2019, but any week is a good time to get involved! As our knowledge of the brain grows, so too does the opportunity to use this information to promote the well-being of our youth. When we help adolescents to learn how to build relationships in healthy ways, we aid them in developing values and skills to build strong, stable relationships!
