WELCOME!

Therapists, educators, artists, community planners, scientists, parents, spiritual directors and seekers, researchers - and individuals interested in creating a resilient, compassionate world - are part of the growing GAINS community. 

The ever-expanding discoveries of the new neuroscience are being digested by theoreticians such as Daniel J. Siegel and Allan Schore, and formed into working models for how we do therapy, teach, and live in a more integrated way.  GAINS is part of the third generation, those who are applying these principles in their personal and professional lives.

Our Mission

As members of GAINS, we promote and support the application of the scientifically-grounded principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to the art of human relationships, across disciplines, in both our personal and professional lives, in the service of a more awake and compassionate world for individuals, families, and communities.

Our Vision

We envision a world in which people cultivate a working knowledge of the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology in order to develop the capacity to engage in thoughtful self-reflection and well-intentioned actions, leading to meaningful and compassionate connections within ourselves, our families, and the world at large.

"Scientifically speaking, kindness is the only way to save the planet. "

                           Daniel J. Siegel, MD

We will support you in creating a local affiliate group to strengthen community connections around the application of IPNB principles.  Currently, Austin IN Connection is part of a group conducting GAINS-related research with at risk mothers and infants.

You will be listed in the members-only directory where you can be part of a forum sharing ideas with other members and add your contributions to the events calendar.

You can currently be listed in our online public directory, so those seeking an IPNB-based practitioner can find you.
