Solution: We combine data visualization and GIS technology with psychometrics and neuroscience tools to map indicators of conflict potential, trauma, and polarization in vulnerable communities. We create "psychological geographies" that capture critical differences in how communities think, in order to inform grassroots and policy interventions for mental and social health.
