Brain Waves for Change

Neurological conditions affect over 3 billion people globally, yet they remain both misunderstood and stigmatized.

But together, we can spark change. It all starts with a wave.

What is Brain Waves for Change?

Brain Waves for Change (BWC) is a student-led initiative dedicated to providing accesible brain health education. Through arts & crafts children’s workshops, educational presentations, and community-wide fundraising, we spark a deeper understanding of neuroscience and mental well-being. Our youth-led team is at the core of our mission to inspire younger generations to stand up, speak out, and lead the conversation on brain health. Together, we aim to create a future where brain health is prioritized and education becomes the tool that saves lives.
