Thriving Kids Brain Builders Initiative

Thriving Kids Brain Builders Initiative (TKBBI) is led by Thriving Queensland Kids Partnership (TQKP)  and ARACY, in conjunction with the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) at The University of Queensland as well as other research, government, NGO and social enterprise partners across Queensland

 

 

TKBBI is designed to generate, translate, and apply knowledge from neurosciences and related child and adolescent sciences for the benefit of Queensland children, young people and their families and communities.
QBI recognises the early years of life as critical in brain development, and that positive early experiences across childhood as setting the foundation for lifelong health, learning and wellbeing.

QBI is the key knowledge and implementation collaborator for the Thriving Kids Brain Builders Initiative.

QBI is supporting Thriving Queensland Kids Partnership to: 
  1. Build widespread neuroscience understanding for children and young people
  1. Build capabilities to embed neuroscience across places, spaces, and workforces
  1. Leverage expertise across Queensland to enable large scale and sustainable practice and systems change.
