What we actually do
From school curricula to community workshops to advocacy training, Synap Kids runs programs that bring pediatric brain health education to children wherever they are.
Six ways we advance brain health
A semester-long curriculum delivered inside partner schools by trained chapter leaders. Covers pediatric brain health, neuroscience literacy, and advocacy for grades K–8.
Free two-hour workshops held in libraries, community centers, and faith spaces. Parents and children explore brain science together — building shared knowledge and reducing stigma around brain conditions.
A growing library of downloadable guides, activity sheets, and video lessons — free for any child, parent, or educator anywhere in the world, at any time.
High school students trained as brain health peer advocates for middle schoolers. Mentors receive 12 hours of neuroscience and advocacy training with ongoing supervision.
A one-day professional development program equipping teachers with neuroscience literacy and brain-informed classroom practices for pediatric health.
A week-long summer day camp where children ages 8–14 explore brain health, neuroscience storytelling, and advocacy through art, movement, and structured reflection.
Numbers that matter
Every number here is a real child, a real family, a real step toward a more brain-literate world.
What families are saying
My daughter used to shut down whenever she felt overwhelmed. After the school program, she started naming her feelings out loud. That is huge for us.
I went in skeptical — another wellness thing. I left with real tools I actually use with my students. The training is practical, not fluffy.
Being a peer mentor changed me more than I expected. I learned as much as the kids I was supporting, maybe more.
