Our story

From humble origins to worldwide impact

For

,

and for kids everywhere

Chase Bjork was a compassionate and loving 18-year-old boy who enjoyed baking pies for neighbors, exploring the outdoors with his dog, and pranking his brothers.

In January 2020, Chase took his own life.

Like so many others, Chase lived with a mental illness that went unidentified and untreated for too long.

Chase's journey & core values – being an open heart, helping others, and giving back – inspired the Brain Health Bootcamp.

The Brain Health Bootcamp, a 501c3 non-profit, provides online education for students, parents, and school communities to address mental/brain health. We are reclassifying ”mental health” as ”brain health” to emphasize that these conditions are physical and treatable.

Join our mission to change the way we address mental health

Every school needs and deserves brain health education. The Brain Health Bootcamp is on a mission to create the most engaging & effective brain health curriculum, and bring it to every adolescent, family, and community across the country.

The Brain Health Bootcamp is a 501c3 nonprofit because we prioritize our mission over profits. Because of this choice, your support is critical – individual donations, grants, and sponsorships make brain health education in schools possible. If you believe in our mission to give students & families knowledge & skills to address mental health crisis, please offer your support.
