What is Brain Talk?

The Brain Talk Curriculum, co-created by Hanna Bogen Novak and Carrie Lindemuth, is designed to teach students about their brains, and how to use the executive function capacities of the prefrontal cortex to respond mindfully rather than react impulsively. The curriculum consists of eight units that introduce key components of the brain and build the narrative of neural integration. Each unit of Brain Talk builds upon the previous unit and includes a whiteboard-animated video, along with lesson plans and accompanying materials targeted to early elementary through high school students. ​

How to Access

Brain Talk is designed to be used by therapists, teachers, and parents/caregivers. Each unit provides instructors with all necessary background information, materials, and discussion points to effectively deliver the curriculum to the early elementary, upper elementary, and middle/high school populations.

​Brain Talk serves as a foundational introduction for many curricula that target mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and social-emotional learning. The curriculum can be easily incorporated into classrooms, therapy/counseling sessions, social groups, and other learning opportunities.

Supported by research showing the metacognition, or thinking about our thinking, plays a critical role in successful decision making and learning, the Brain Talk Curriculum teaches students how to be more aware of the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. ​
