Greensboro, NC, Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Institute for Family, a program of Children’s Home Society of North Carolina, invites residents statewide to participate in the 2026 Family Insight Survey, open through February 28, 2026. The annual survey gathers perspectives from families and community members to better understand how families are experiencing daily life.
“At a time when North Carolinians are navigating economic pressure, childcare challenges, and changing community supports, listening matters more than ever,” said Claudia Perry, Director of the Institute for Family. “This survey gives families and community members a direct way to shape the data, conversations, and solutions that influence how systems show up for them.”
Insights from previous Family Insight Surveys have helped elevate family voices in statewide conversations around access to support, community connection, and child and family well-being. Findings have informed research priorities, guided community discussions, and shaped storytelling that reflects lived experiences across North Carolina.
Results from the 2026 survey will be released later this spring through the Institute for Family’s Family Insight Dashboard, a public-facing resource used by community leaders, organizations, and advocates to better understand family well-being and support more responsive, data-informed approaches.
What Participants Should Know
The survey is open to all North Carolina residents and designed to be quick and accessible with fewer than 10 questions. Participants are encouraged to share the survey with their communities to help ensure voices from across the state are represented. Results will be shared later this spring through the Institute’s Family Insight Dashboard, offering a statewide view of family well-being and community life.
The 2026 Family Insight Survey will remain open through February 28, 2026.
