Oxford Brain Story
In partnership with the Alberta Family Wellness Initiative, the Oxford Brain Story aims to share the well-established science of brain development—explaining how early experiences shape lifelong health, behaviour and resilience—with everyone in our community.
Our aim is to establish a shared understanding of the Brain Story science across organisations, professional groups and communities. Using the metaphors, we can create a shared language to talk about how brains are built and the part we can all play. Our training opportunities and resources are all free to access. Together we can use science to improve outcomes for children, young people and adults.
The Brain Story is an evidence-based, accessible series of metaphors that shares the science of how childhood experiences can influence later physical and mental health outcomes, and how positive relationships and supportive environments can shift life trajectories, even in adulthood.
