MindUP is excited to announce the premiere of The Teen Brain!

The power of mental fitness
Our evidence-based curriculum creates long-term impact by teaching about the emotional center of the brain. Each of our lessons has a direct neurological correlate to strengthen students’ ability to regulate emotions, focus attention and build empathy.
“These are our children, they are our future. It’s time to advocate for preventative mental health programs in every school.”
