Be part of the solution 🧠 with NEAR Science

NEAR Science training brings people together to explore how stress and trauma affect the brain—and how resilience can be built at every age.

You’ll learn the four pillars of NEAR:
Neurobiology — how toxic stress shapes the brain and behavior
Epigenetics — how adversity can echo across generations
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) — what the research reveals about long‑term health
Resilience — the protective factors that help individuals and communities grow stronger
