What We Do

Human-centric research

Lens Co is a group of social work practitioners turned researchers. We are experts in social impact research with an immense depth of knowledge which is built upon decades of experience working on the front line as clinicians, advocates, and leaders in their field. We love data and we keep the humans behind the data at the forefront of what we do.

Inclusive advocacy

We are committed to dissemination and use a variety of methods to share the results of our research. We strive to reduce the feedback loop from research to practice, knowing that the most meaningful research is accessible to a range of audiences. We work to put our research into action by working with our partners in the community.
