About NeuroKids
NeuroKids is a joint project from the School of Psychology and the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Southampton. We conduct engaging workshops about neuroscience, neurodivergence and mental health in collaboration with local schools. The project is lead by Dr Dennis Golm (Psychology lead) and Dr Rina Cianfaglione (Medicine lead). If you are interested in us delivering a workshop at your school, please contact us using the contact form below or by emailing NeuroKids@soton.ac.uk.
