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.

INP exists to translate complex research on the nervous system, development, stress, and health into accessible, practical education for individuals, families, educators, and communities.
​​Our Mission
To advance trauma-informed, neuroscience-based education, research, and community programming that supports emotional intelligence, resilience, relational health, and lifelong well-being.
We believe education is a powerful pathway for prevention, empowerment, and long-term health—especially when it is grounded in science, developmentally informed, and accessible to diverse communities.
