Drum roll, please!!! Today, my vision for 7H20 Neurodiversity Campuses came one step further into existence thanks to a professional concept rendering by Harvard and Radcliffe alumni, Mara Sachs, referred by Dr. Deborah Zelinsky, Founder of MindEye Institute! California BrainWaves is a nonprofit with the below vision of a social franchise model of live/work/learn/play therapeutic campuses for families and individuals with brain and developmental disabilities. Everyone, Meet 7H20:

Lily Morelock contacted me in 2022 via email, inviting California BrainWaves to participate in her school's program where marketing students support nonprofits of their choosing. We were honored to be messaged, then chosen, esp since we are across the country from them, in a different time zone! Today they signed us up for this semester, too!  Last Semester they made tik tok videos for us. I think this year we will have this class compete with last year's to see who comes up with the best tik tok vids! Will they accept the challenge?

Today I received a check for $750 from NAMI East Bay! NAMI stands for National Association on Mental Illness. We had asked our contacts for a sponsorship of $750 for our travel costs for the upcoming LA Convention hosted by The Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics (SBMT). Over 600 neuroscientists and doctors from across the globe will be in attendance with thousands more watching our professionally filmed speeches!  We are ever so grateful to NAMI East Bay for this amazing honor of being sponsored by them!  Learn more here:  https://myemail.constantcontact.com/20th-Annual-Awards-Gala--Gathering-for-Cure--Fundraiser.html?soid=1132109433538&aid=4KM61JtePrw

In less than a week I'll be Speaking at the Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics (SBMT) convention in LA, where our California BrainWaves' Treasurer Dr. Deborah Zelinsky is the incoming President!

And I get to share my vision of our 7H20 Neurodiversity Campuses! California BrainWaves Speakers: Leighton Hinkley, Deborah Zelinksy, Douglas Major, Kiera Rain

Our Mission is to increase support for neurodiversity in the way of housing, employment, education, research, medical care, specialized training, legal aid, and community systems.  Our Vision is to develop pivotal live/work/learn/play therapeutic campuses for people with brain and developmental disabilities and their loved ones, preventing traumatizing and expensive family separations. At California BrainWaves, staff, caregivers, and neurotypical siblings are also a priority in receiving support.
