Making the Invisible Crisis Visible
Public understanding is the first step toward action. Our Raise Awareness pillar translates complex science into clear, compelling information for young people, families, clinicians and policymakers, through campaigns, youth resources, events, our new Emerging Voices podcast and a growing Schools Network.
This cycle: Youth Climate Mind, Smoke, Heat and Your Brain, Emerging Voices and the Schools and University Network. Evidence that doesn’t reach people doesn’t change anything.
Our Founding Public Voice
“Wildfire Smoke is Affecting Your Brain, Not Just Your Lungs”
The article that started it all. This evidence-based op-ed made the case in a national Canadian outlet that wildfire smoke is a direct neurological threat, not just a respiratory one. The response it generated directly led to the founding of Brain-CE.
