Since 2009, Kids Brain Health Network (KBHN) has led transformative projects and real-world solutions that improve outcomes for children and families. In 2016, the Kids Brain Health Foundation (KBHF) was established to mobilize philanthropy, partnerships, and public support, amplifying the reach and impact of our work.

Kids Brain Health Innovation Fund (KBH-IF) further strengthens our ability to accelerate the growth, scale, and spread of tested and effective innovations emerging from the KBHN and KBHF portfolios.

Together, KBHN, KBHF, and KBH-IF form KBH+, a national platform delivering impact for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. Through coordinated efforts in government funding, philanthropy, and impact investing, KBH+ advances early identification, effective interventions, and access to family supports.

Kids Brain Health (KBH+) will host the KBH+ Conference 2026 from October 18–21 at The Westin Calgary in Calgary, Alberta, bringing together leaders and changemakers committed to improving outcomes for children and youth with neurodisabilities (NDs) and their families.

Since its founding in 2009, the Kids Brain Health Network (KBHN) has been a national leader in turning research and innovation into meaningful, real-world impact for children with NDs and their families. With approximately one in ten children and youth in Canada living with an ND, KBHN is dedicated to scaling and spreading evidence-based solutions—and ensuring they reach the children and families who need them most.

The 2026 conference builds on this strong foundation, convening voices from research, practice, community, policy, and innovation to spark collaboration and accelerate change. Under the theme, “From Evidence to Everywhere: Scaling and Sustaining Innovations for Kids,” this conference is a bold call to action: to move proven approaches beyond pilot projects and into everyday practice, ensuring early identification, effective interventions, and family supports are accessible, sustainable, and impactful for every child.
