What We Do
At Cognitive Compass, we harness the power of cognitive science, neuroscience, computer science, psychology, statewide legislative advocacy, public speaking, research, and community education to enhance the accessibility and utilization of cognitive and mental healthcare, thereby optimizing outcomes. Whether it’s creating a QR code to streamline mental healthcare access in local educational institutions, drafting and passing a California Senate bill to enable schools statewide to do the same, or educating our community about human trafficking and mental health, we strive to provide guidance and accessible cognitive and mental healthcare for all ages.
