The
Jordan Institute is the research, training and technical assistance arm
of the School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill. Addressing family issues across the lifespan, the Jordan Institute
brings together experts—including families themselves—to develop
and test policies and practices that strengthen families and engage communities.
New Research
Two new Research Briefs have been added to the FamilyTrends website.
