Cognitive-Based Integrative (CBI) Programs

Our hallmark primary prevention effort is based on our Cognitive-Based Integrative (CBI) Programs, which include six separate programs that have been validated with fMRI and related psychophysiological techniques. The CBI programs are primarily focused on the primary and secondary levels of prevention. ​

Our research continues to study how exposure to traumatic experiences from in utero, early childhood, and teen years, affect psychopathology and cognitive functioning in adulthood. This is studied to learn how exposure to traumatic experiences affects the developing brain and to develop primary prevention programs. The CBI programs have been designed to help fill the gap in primary prevention that is often overshadowed by highly necessary secondary and tertiary prevention programs. One of the guiding principles of our CBI programs incorporates health equity in each of its programs and practices. Our CBI programs promote healthy behaviors and choices to reduce risky behaviors in teens and children. It is designed for expectant parents and new parents, parents who have recently separated (to help in the best interest of their child), and other parents with children and teens.
