The Logan community has told us they want themselves and those who wrap around their children to deepen their knowledge of brain building to collectively build better futures for Logan’s kids.

Brain building works with families, communities, the workforce, and those responsible for policy decisions to build and share a common language and practice for collective wellbeing. Brain Building for Better Futures is a partnership connecting wisdom of place, culture, people and science. Logan Together and Thriving Queensland Kids Partnership are joining together to walk alongside community and work with key people to design an approach to brain building in place. This will include aspects such as training, service mapping and translation of science to practice

The project will be informed by local, national and international resources and research, including how shared understandings, language and practices have been implemented within communities and across sectors to help children and families have the best chance in life no matter where they live. A process of co-design will tailor this knowledge to the Logan community and contexts, with nominated local leaders trained to share it with others.
An implementation guide and a train-the-trainer kit will be developed to support scaling to other services, sectors and settings beyond the Logan community and to help widen the impact of project learnings.
