Our CAN Life Coaching Course uses neuroscience, positive psychology, and mindfulness and allows students to transfer theoretical knowledge into practical tools to help guide others through a personal development journey. The course was developed by Dr. Mandy Wintink and launched as our first course in 2010.
We offer this course in-house in Toronto and online for individual enrollment.
The Psychological Neuroscience course is an introduction to general neuroscience and psychology topics of current relevance including drugs (i.e., Neuropsychopharmacology), mental disorders, neurological disorders, sex & gender, the effects of technology & social media on the brain, and multiple intelligences.
This course is designed to teach people about how the brain works, the nature of stress, strategies for building resilience through stress reduction, positive thinking, and optimism and general tips for brain health and wellness.
This course is available as part of our Workplace Training Courses. We’re happy to come to your workplace!

The goal of this workshop is to introduce participants to the value of diversity by first looking at the benefits of diversity in nature with specific examination of neurodiversities (e.g., Autism Spectrum Disorder, Learning Disabilities), mental illness, and sex & gender diversity.
The brain naturally forms the cognitive biases that lead to unconscious and harmful stereotypes, prejudices, and discrimination. Learn about your own cognitive biases and strategies to overcome these biases.

The Psychological Neuroscience course is an introduction to general neuroscience and psychology topics of current relevance including drugs (i.e., Neuropsychopharmacology), mental disorders, neurological disorders, sex & gender, the effects of technology & social media on the brain, and multiple intelligences.
During this course, students will learn some fundamental principles of how the mind and brain work through the lens of psychology and neuroscience. For example, students learn the neuroscience basis of cognitive biases, discrimination, and prejudices. They will also learn about the nature of diversity, the theory of intersectionality, and stress and recovery associated with traumas. Ultimately, all of the learning prepares the students’ brains to think more inclusively, appreciate diversity, and serve as agents of social change.

The goal of this workshop is to teach participants principles of neuroscience that they can apply directly in their own lives at work and at home in order to be more happy, healthy, and accomplished.

The course is based on the content from Dr. Mandy Wintink’s upcoming second book on the subject matter. The book is written in a memoire-style account of various topics including 1) mental health, 2) drug experiences, 3) eating and food, 4) sensitivities and sensory experiences, 5) sexuality and gender, and more.

Our Learning Model
Self-Study Options
We offer a variety of options to learn with us. Our flagship experience has been learning with and from each other during in-person and virtual courses with small groups of like-minded but diversely experienced people; however, in 2024 we launched our self-study, asynchronous option for some courses as a result of changing interests post-pandemic. Whichever you choose, we guarantee you’ll enjoy the learning.
Community
People who take our courses are like-minded people who care about understanding and supporting others (and themselves) through a brain awareness journey. We take great pride in our ability to bring amazing people together for an exceptional learning experience. With the recent launch of our self-study options, we ensured that the community experience was preserved for those who want that while enjoying the flexibility if asynchronous learning. We have added monthly discussions for community members, free to those are registered in a course.

Credentials
We offer a few different credentials to honour the learning journey because we believe the hard intellectual, emotional, behavioural, and social work of our courses should be shown off. Some courses are shorter introductions to topics but some others that are longer and more in-depth come with a “certificate” or “certification”. We also offer “MicroDegrees” where students choose their topics of interest and work with a mentor to complete a study project! People love adding credentials from the Centre for Applied Neuroscience to their resumes.

Upcoming Courses & Events
Sex and Gender: First of all, what is the difference between sex (i.e., what we were assigned at birth) and gender? Second, what does "non-binary" mean? We'll cover that too! Behavioural Neuroscientist, Dr. Mandy Wintink, will walk us through the basics of biology to help us understand the difference between sex and gender and why they are biologically not just male vs female or man vs. woman. They are biologically and inherently non-binary!
