About

To change hearts and minds, you first must learn to access them.

Mindbridge uses psychology and neuroscience to create programming, conduct research, and develop partnerships that fortify and educate individuals and organizations working on the front lines of social justice efforts. Through programs such as healing racial trauma and countering extremism, and partnerships with social science labs and community organizations, Mindbridge is growing a science-driven community that gives human rights defenders access to the hearts and minds of those they serve.
