Mission

To improve the well-being of children and families in disadvantaged communities through social and economic development, effective systems and research.

In pursuit of its mission, the Institute will evaluate, formulate, and perform research on policies, programs, and systems that promote the health and well-being of children and families in underserved communities of California and elsewhere.

Our purpose is to advance knowledge, attitudes, values, behaviors, and relationships, which have a positive impact on well-being. In this regard, the Institute seeks the involvement of individual consumer, family, professional, and community in all its activities.
