GET INVOLVED
Take Action
We are building a community across Maryland of people committed to moving our mission forward. Our collaborative work meets people where they are and supports them in their learning and engagement with our shared work.
Whether you’re here for the first time, learning new things about brain science, or you’re a long-time supporter who’s ready for the next step in our partnership, we welcome you.
Ways to Take Action
Science
EFC grounds its perspective in science. Understanding the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study and its impact is a great first step.
Brain-Building Toolkit
The toolkit is a one-stop location for all of us to get the necessary tools to help children thrive. Start exploring these expert-backed resources.
Attend a Toolkit Training
Learn how to leverage the Brain-Building Toolkit and get answers to your questions during the webinar.
Make Learning Fun with Vroom
Get actionable tips to make learning part of playtime, bathtime, dinnertime, and any time of day. We've collaborated with Vroom to help parents be a brain builder with Vroom.

Resilience Forum
Hear from the FrameWorks Institute on research findings for productively engaging audiences and reflect on your communications practices during the virtual forum in June.
Impact Policy
Policies shape the environments where our children liven, learn and play and should promote healthy development and reduce unnecessary burdens on children and the adults in their lives.
Join The Collaborative
We welcome you, as an individual, or representing a business, organization or agency to join our collective effort. Share your email so we can work together on policies that prevent, reduce and heal trauma.
