Hosted by Edenas Children, Make-With-Data: Mapping Mental Health is an interactive workshop that blends data science, mapping skills, and community-based problem solving. Taking place on December 9 at Pier 57, this hands-on session invites participants to explore how real-world mental health challenges intersect with environmental, social, and geographic factors.
Using accessible data sources and scientific methods, attendees will examine patterns in mental health conditions — such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and schizophrenia — and consider how access to services varies across neighborhoods. The workshop is designed to empower beginners and experienced learners alike, offering activities that build technical skills while supporting deeper conversations about sustainability, equity, and community mental wellness.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops, with loaner devices available if needed. All donations support workshop materials and curriculum development.
