Lean In and Listen Up to Family Voices: A New Report to Strengthen Early Childhood Services
The Lean In and Listen Up report, released by NCECF and NC Child, provides a window into what families need and want from North Carolina’s social-emotional health ecosystem for babies and young children. The report themes ideas, recommendations, and personal stories from more than 200 interviews and surveys with NC parents of young children. It is intended to be a guide for advocates, policymakers, clinicians, funders, and others interested in improving the systems of care that address social-emotional well-being for babies and young children, from birth to age eight.
This 30-page Overview of Findings report includes quotes from families, disaggregated where possible by race, ethnicity, income and gender. It also describes the methodology and who was interviewed and surveyed. A 6-page Executive Summary and full 120-page Family Voice report with more quotes, detailed analysis and information are also available.
