Request a pdf or Hard Copy Book

Yellowbrick Foundation is a not-forprofit organization whose mission is to support research, training and community education regarding the emotional, psychological, and developmental challenges of adolescents and emerging adults, ages 14 through the young 30’s.

This book, Minding the Brain, is dedicated to the dissemination of work that informs the developmental neurobiological model—a trauma informed, research-based treatment model that combines the most current contributions of developmental psychology, neuroscience, innovative psychotherapies, strength-based strategies, and wellness medicine. Minding the Brain highlights cutting-edge theory and research that informs the understanding of emerging adults from an integrated, holistic perspective. The articles demonstrate the effectiveness of multi-specialty evaluation and treatment, neurobiologically informed research-based strategies and the application of neuroscience to in-depth psychotherapy and use of technologies, and life-skills interventions emphasizing the power of fundamental competencies. Minding the Brain represents the voices and perspectives of those who serve as the catalysts for all who are dedicated to the optimization of emerging adults’ potentials.

Take the Next Step

Yellowbrick collaborates with adolescents and emerging adults, ages 16-30's, their families and participating professionals toward the development and implementation of a strategic “Life Plan.” An integrative, multi-specialty consultation clarifies strengths, limitations, and risks, and defines motivations, goals and choices.
