NAMI Vermont Lunch and Learn: From Science to Support: Turning Research into Everyday Emotional Wellness Tools
February 4th 2026, 12-1 EST (Virtual)
How can we turn complex research on child mental health into simple, practical tools that families and providers can actually use? In this virtual Lunch & Learn, Bryn Loftness, researcher and co-founder of Biobe, will share how her team translates cutting-edge biobehavioral science into tools that nurture children’s emotional wellness—starting with Sprout Foundations, a 50-strategy toolkit developed for families and pediatric settings. Participants will learn about the science behind these tools, see them in action through a few quick examples, and explore Biobe’s free online decision framework for matching strategies to common emotional or behavioral challenges. Bryn will also share real-world stories and early successes from families and clinicians using these approaches and provide follow-up materials for continued learning and application.
​
By the end of this virtual session, participants will be able to:
-
Describe how evidence-based research on child emotional wellness is translated into practical, family-friendly tools.
-
Identify how Biobe’s Sprout Foundations toolkit can support early emotional health and care coordination across home and clinical settings.
