In 2021, Insight Region focused on understanding and promoting inclusive prosperity – increasing self-sufficiency, expanding economic opportunity, and forging pathways for long-term movements out of poverty for all of Northern Virginia’s residents.
In 2022, Insight Region is focused on understanding the impacts of the current mental health crisis on all in our community. In March 2022, its report Finding our Way Back to Mental Health presented the prevalence of mental health symptoms in our region and addressed the need for accessible, affordable treament in the midst of collective trauma. Further briefs will focus on particular aspects, helping our community better undrestand the underlying causes and identify community-based actions to address these issues.
We will be adding content regularly as we build out this community resource, including new research briefs and reports and an updated news feed to share data, research, and insights produced by the Community Foundation and our research partners on issues relevant to the region.
