My Good Brain
An Arts-Based Nonprofit Organization for Youth Mental Wellness
Bridging Psychology & Art
My Good Brain is an arts-based nonprofit focused on promoting mental wellness among school-aged youth.
Through the vehicle of art and play, we aim to teach children from a young age through adolescence how to practice healthy coping strategies for mental and emotional wellness.
