The BrainBox

A new innovative resource that is making a difference to children & young peoples mental health & wellbeing. www.thebrainbox.org.uk

Using the BrainBox removes stigma associated with discussing sensitive emotional & mental health issues. By associating the brain with the computer components found in the box, children, young people & adults are more ready to engage in talking about behavioural issues that have presented as challenges to themselves and others around them.

The BrainBox provides a tool that illustrates the problem without directly criticising the person. The fight-or-flight response demonstrated by the BrainBox is explained as a shared human resource, a natural reaction that sometimes needs to be adjusted or fine tuned. Removing the blame but not the responsibility

Seeing how neuro-pathways become disconnected at times of heightened emotional state enables a better understanding of the brain & how to re-engage with the thinking clever part of the brain.

The consequences of using the BrainBox as a therapeutic tool have been found to be very beneficial. Using the guidelines set out in the manual to explain what is happening inside the brain can make all the difference. A small investment in time now can make a difference for a lifetime. The BrainBox is used by Neuro-Linguistic Practitioners, Solution Focused Therapists, Education Psychologists, Youth Workers, School Nurses, Teachers and Trainers.
