The Institute for Family was founded by the Children’s Home Society of North Carolina and is grounded in its mission and belief in family. The Institute is a national effort that capitalizes on the Children Home Society’s 118-year history of providing direct services for families associated with the child welfare system. 

Together, we are excited to help ignite a movement to elevate family well-being, creating opportunities for all families to thrive.
