We\u2019re currently inviting people to participate in early testing of FunctionalMe. Testers help shape how the tool works in real life by sharing feedback on usability, clarity, and daily fit.<\/p>\n
This is a great option if you want to contribute directly to the development of trauma-informed executive functioning support.<\/p>\n

We collaborate with organizations, researchers, clinicians, educators, and institutions who are interested in studying executive functioning, trauma, regulation, and capacity in real-world contexts.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re exploring ethical, applied research and want to build something together, we\u2019d love to start a conversation.<\/p>\n

TEFI is intentionally expanding its board and advisory leadership as the organization grows. We\u2019re looking for people who bring complementary experience in research, public health, technology, finance, governance, and community leadership.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re interested in helping guide this work at a strategic level, we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n

We believe lived experience is a critical form of knowledge. If you\u2019ve navigated executive functioning challenges related to trauma, health, neurodivergence, caregiving, or systemic barriers, you\u2019re welcome to share your story with us.<\/p>\n
Your insight helps shape how we think, research, and build.<\/p>\n
