Neuroscience Series
Toward Brain-Based Social Work Practice.
Neuroscience research is expanding and refining knowledge related to our understanding of brain development, health across the lifespan, emotions, thinking, and human behavior. Understanding the neuroscience aspects of human development, motivation, and behavior has important implications for those in the human and social services sectors. Neuroscience knowledge can inform client services, increase effective family interactions, and advise client systems. The Strategies Center’s Neuroscience Series helps family service and social workers to understand and apply neuroscience-backed strategies that support improved child and family outcomes.
