Brain Builders Implementation Workshop (25 July 2023)
Thriving Queensland Kids Partnership (TQKP) has engaged QBI as the knowledge and implementation partner of the Thriving Kids Brain Builders Initiative (TKBBI). This initiative is designed to generate, translate, and apply knowledge from neuroscience and related child, adolescent and resilience sciences for the benefit of Queensland’s children, young people and their families and communities.
On Tuesday 25 July, QBI invited collaborators and stakeholders from across Queensland to join us at the Brain Builders Implementation Strategy Workshop.
The purpose of the workshop was to:
- Share information on current practice and initiatives across QLD that are applying neuroscience in workforces, services, and communities.
- Launch Brain Builders e-learning modules and workshop strategies and frameworks for implementation.
- Explore collaboration opportunities for workforce development across QLD.
- Invite organisation to engage in the TKBBI Collaborative
