Branch Out is thrilled to welcome our new CEO, Laureen Jensen.  Crystal Phillips has passed the torch and Laureen is ready to take Branch Out to the next level!  We took the opportunity to sit down with our new CEO as she takes the reigns at Branch Out.

The New Year is a time of reflection and new beginnings for many of us. This year, consider giving your resolutions some life-long impact.

Calling all interested Branchies!  We have an incredible 2020 volunteer opportunity. 

The Branch Out Neurological Foundation was founded in 2010.  As a grassroots charity, we've made a name for ourselves by being trailblazers.  We push the status quo and aren't afraid of challenging systems and methods because 'that's the way they've always been done.' 

Do you know what's WAY better than two turtle doves?  Two wheels peddling for a great cause!

Another successful Branch Out event for the books.  Our second annual 'Your Brain on Art' raised over $80,000!

A gathering of great minds at YYC's newest creative hub, Contemporary Calgary.

Your Brain on Art was a wonderful collaboration of neuroscience and art, featuring some great musical talent to inspire Branch Out's vision of a world free from neurological disorders. As you follow the link below to relive the musical centerpiece of the evening, its worth considering how this auditory masterpiece can influence your brain.

But as the cartoon implies, not all placebo effects are equal, so this article is dedicated to understanding how our brains can promote recovery and why this could be a central component of NeuroCAM therapies.
