Education for Emotional Intelligence, Resilience, and Relationships
The Institute for Neurofunctional Psychology (INP) is a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to advancing neuroscience-based, trauma-informed education that supports emotional resilience, relational health, and whole-person well-being across the lifespan.

Our Mission
To advance trauma-informed, neuroscience-based education, research, and community programming that supports emotional intelligence, resilience, relational health, and lifelong well-being.
