What We Do: Overview<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Good Wolf makes knowledge from neuroscience widely accessible to promote individual and collective well-being.<\/p>\n

We design and facilitate learning experiences to communicate neuroscience knowledge that helps people empower themselves, strengthen their relationships, build their organizations, and enrich their communities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Good Wolf brings together scientists, physicians, educators, business leaders, policy makers, advocates, and representatives of relevant communities to share what we know about ourselves from neuroscience to help us all listen, learn, work together, and thrive. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

We do this through two major types of engagement: (1) with individuals and communities to facilitate healthy behaviors, and (2) with organizations to facilitate healthy cultural change.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\"divider\"<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Challenge<\/h3>\n

For more than 200,000 years, humans have progressively dominated other species, and, eventually, the world. But at this precarious moment in history, our survival as a species hinges upon our ability to move beyond “us” versus the “other”.

Meeting The Challenge<\/h3>\n

Using knowledge from neuroscience and related fields we can create physical, social, and cognitive environments which support healthy brain development and functioning throughout life and allow us to base our behaviors on advancing our shared values.

Our 2 Major Areas of Engagement<\/h3>\n

We design and facilitate learning experiences to communicate neuroscience knowledge that helps people empower themselves, strengthen their relationships, build their organizations, and enrich their communities.<\/p>\n

We bring together scientists, physicians, educators, business leaders, policy makers, advocates, and representatives of relevant communities to share what we know about ourselves from neuroscience to help us all listen, learn, work together, and thrive.<\/p>\n

We focus on the following 2 areas of engagement:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    1. Personal Growth and Community Engagement<\/a><\/li>\n
    2. Organizational Culture Change<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol><\/div>

      Theory of Change<\/h3>\n

      It all starts with the brain: our human control system. The brain controls our thoughts, our emotions, our actions and behaviors; it frames our biases, perceptions, and interpretations, determines whom we identify with, and whom we consider “the other.” The vast majority of the processes that the brain undergoes to drive our behaviors are deeply engrained in, and arise from, our unconscious.

      CASE STUDY: LIFTING UP EVERYONE!<\/h3>\n

      In March 2021, Good Wolf engaged with <\/span>Lifting Up Westchester<\/span>, a large nonprofit provider of services to homeless persons and their families, to facilitate professional growth in frontline staff in order to take their service to homeless clients to a higher level.<\/span> <\/span>
