What does it look like to align brain science and race equity, and embed both into programming, organizational culture, and systems-change efforts? Come learn from the experiences of the Texas Change in Mind Learning Collaborative. This two-year project brought together 10 diverse human service organizations in Texas from 2021-2023 to provide foundational content, peer-to-peer learning, implementation supports, and sustainability planning focused on these critical and connected topics.

Learning Objectives:

Identify core components of the Theory of Change that guides the work of Social Current's 'Change in Mind' initiatives.
Analyze how brain-friendly, healing-centered, equity-focused strategies overlap and can be implemented at the programmatic, organizational, and systems pathway.
Articulate lessons learned, challenges, and sustainability considerations with Texas Change in Mind Learning Collaborative participants.
