Stay in the loop and never miss a beat
We are on a mission to empower adolescents, families, and communities in learning about, discussing and taking action on brain health.
Chase Bjork was a beautiful boy who ultimately died from his mental illness. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to overcome the power of his hidden disease. In his memory, the Bjork family and Concord community established the Chase Bjork Foundation to educate families on mental illness and get more adolescents the treatment they need and deserve, pre-crisis.
Our StoryWe develop and distribute brain health resources for adolescents and their families to promote education and awareness, pre-crisis
We are developing an online resource for adolescents, their families, and communities to promote education and awareness about brain health, pre-crisis. The 30-minute bootcamp will be available for free online and distributed in partnership with school districts. BHB showcases brain health conditions, vetted support organizations and crisis resources, and personal stories from those affected by brain health.
Make the #BrainHealthPledge to stand up against mental health stigma and see the person, not the illness.
Through our words and actions, we can change the way the world sees and treats mental health conditions.

One way that educators can promote mental/ brain wellness in school environments is by developing lessons that avoid bias and that include positive representations of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people, history, and events.
Discrimination against LGBTQ people has specifically been associated with high rates of brain health disorders, substance use, and suicide. In fact, when compared to people that identify as straight, LGBTQ individuals are three times more likely to experience a mental health condition.
